OOCL reference formats

Paste any of these references: BerthTime detects the type and the carrier. Carrier code (SCAC): OOLU.

Container number
11 characters (ISO 6346): a 4-letter owner code ending in U, a 6-digit serial number and a check digit.
OOCL's own containers usually start with OOLU or OOCU.
Leased containers carry the lessor's owner code: choose OOCL as the carrier when you add one.
Bill of lading
OOCL BL numbers (OOLU followed by 10 digits) are recognised, but tracking works by container number today: add the containers listed on the BL.
Booking number
Not tracked by booking yet: use the bill of lading or the container numbers.

Data you get for OOCL shipments

  • Container events from empty pick-up and gate-in through loading, departure, transshipment and discharge to gate-out, with the arrival date at the port of discharge.
  • Vessel name and voyage for each sea leg, when OOCL gives them.
  • OOCL's ETA, with an email alert when the delay passes the threshold you set.
  • A predicted arrival computed from the vessel's AIS position, labelled as an estimate, when the vessel is identified and within AIS range.
  • Some OOCL events come with a date but no time of day; BerthTime shows them by day.
  • The same shipment data over the REST API and signed webhooks.
