Frequently asked questions
What does a HMM container number look like?
Container numbers follow ISO 6346: a 3-letter owner code plus the letter U (for HMM: HMMU, KOCU, HDMU), six digits and a final check digit, 11 characters in total. Example: HMMU1234560.

Events are added when the container is gated in, loaded, discharged or gated out. Between ports there may be no updates for several days while the vessel is at sea.
