Sinotrans Container Lines Tracking FAQ

Common questions about tracking Sinotrans Container Lines shipments

How do I track Sinotrans Container Lines containers?

Type the container number into the search box above: four letters and seven digits, such as SNBU1234569. The letters are the box owner's code, not the line's, so they vary: of the 220 Sinotrans Container Lines containers tracked on Traqo, most start with SNBU (70%) or UETU (6%), and leased boxes starting with TXGU (2%) or TEMU (2%). Our system detects the carrier from the number and retrieves the latest tracking information.

Sinotrans Container Lines's SCAC code is "12IH". On Traqo we have seen 17 distinct ISO 6346 container prefixes from this carrier: SNBU, UETU, SLPU, FTAU, TIIU, TXGU, FFAU, TEMU, and 9 more. The most active prefix is SNBU with 154 tracked containers.

Can I track using a Bill of Lading?

Yes! Switch to "BL" mode in the search box, enter your Bill of Lading number, and our system will retrieve all associated container and shipment details. This is useful when you have multiple containers under one BL.

Is Sinotrans Container Lines tracking free?

Yes. You get 3 free container/BL lookups a day without an account, and a free plan that tracks 4 shipments, API included, no card needed.
