Understanding ISO 6346 Container Numbers
An ISO 6346 container number is the unique identifier printed on shipping containers worldwide. The format consists of 11 characters: a 4-letter owner and equipment code, followed by 6 digits, and ending with a single check digit. For example, MSKU1234565 follows this pattern, where MSKU identifies the container owner, 123456 is the serial number, and 5 is the check digit that validates the entire number.
To track a container, simply paste the complete 11-character number into TrackJet's universal tracking box. The system automatically recognizes the ISO 6346 standard and searches across 14 active container carriers to locate your shipment. No manual carrier selection is needed—TrackJet detects the format and retrieves tracking information in real time.
