FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about tracking your shipments

What is a Bill of Lading (BL) and how do I track it?

A Bill of Lading (BL) is a crucial legal document issued by a carrier to acknowledge receipt of cargo for shipment. It serves three primary functions: as a receipt for shipped goods, a contract between the shipper and carrier, and a document of title that can be used to transfer ownership.

To track your Bill of Lading, enter the BL number into TrackCargo. The platform retrieves available carrier status updates, including vessel details, port milestones, and estimated delivery dates where supported.

What is an Air Waybill (AWB) and how does tracking work?

An Air Waybill (AWB) is a non-negotiable transport document that covers the carriage of cargo from airport to airport. Unlike a Bill of Lading, an AWB is not a document of title and cannot be used to transfer ownership. It contains an 11-digit number (3-digit airline code + 8-digit serial number) that uniquely identifies your air cargo shipment.

AWB tracking provides available flight and cargo milestones, including departure and arrival times, customs clearance status, and delivery confirmation where supported. TrackCargo supports 50+ airlines.

How do I find and track my container number?

Container numbers follow the ISO 6346 standard: 4 letters (owner code) + 6 numbers + 1 check digit (e.g., MSCU1234567). You can find this number on your shipping documents, booking confirmation, or physically marked on the container itself.

Our tracking system monitors container movements through every milestone: gate-in at origin, vessel loading, transshipment ports, discharge, and final delivery. We provide visibility into both merchant haulage (carrier-controlled) and carrier haulage segments of your container's journey.

How accurate and current is your tracking data?

Tracking data comes from carrier feeds and APIs where integrations are available. Update timing varies by carrier.

TrackCargo standardizes carrier-sourced tracking events so teams can review shipment milestones, exceptions, and available ETA details in one place.

Which shipping lines and airlines do you support?

We support 20+ ocean carriers including Maersk, MSC, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, Yang Ming, Hyundai Merchant Marine, ZIM, and regional carriers. For air freight, we cover 50+ airlines including UPS, DHL, Emirates, Lufthansa, KLM, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, and passenger airlines with cargo services.

Our coverage expands as we add new carrier integrations. If your carrier isn't currently supported, contact us to discuss coverage needs.

What BCO workflows does TrackCargo support beyond tracking?

TrackCargo gives BCO teams a shipment workspace for purchase orders, parties and contacts, SKU management, documents, custom fields, and last-free-day follow-up.

That means teams can keep PO numbers, suppliers, product details, shipment files, internal references, and exception follow-up connected to the shipment record instead of rebuilding that context in separate spreadsheets.

Do you offer API access for developers?

Yes, TrackCargo provides REST API endpoints for tracking orders, supported carriers, batch tracking, and webhook notifications.

Developer features include API documentation, API keys, webhook configuration, and technical support. API access starts with the Pro plan at $19/month.

What is included in the trial and paid plans?

The trial plan includes 5 trackings for 1 month so you can test the workflow.

Paid plans starting at $19/month include 20 trackings, additional usage pricing, API access, webhook notifications, priority support, and team collaboration. Enterprise plans support custom tracking volumes and integrations.
