Frequently asked questions

What does a OOCL container number look like?

Container numbers follow ISO 6346: a 3-letter owner code plus the letter U (for OOCL: OOLU, OOCU, DFSU), six digits and a final check digit, 11 characters in total. Example: OOLU1234567.

Can I track a bill of lading or booking number here?

Our automatic detection works on container numbers. To track by bill of lading (B/L) or booking number, use the search on oocl.com directly. We link to it from this page.

Why does the container show no movement?

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.

Is this the official OOCL website?

No. TrackandTrace.com is an independent tracking directory that sends you to the official OOCL tracking page on oocl.com.
