About COSCO

COSCO SHIPPING Lines—the container arm of China COSCO Shipping Corp.—fields 554 vessels totalling 3.37 M TEU, up 1.6 % year-on-year to Q1 2025. The group serves 400+ ports in 140 countries via its dual brands COSCO and OOCL, while inland logistics reach stretches across Eurasian rail corridors and 80+ depots worldwide. An active orderbook of 69 dual-fuel mega-maxes (≈600 k TEU) will push capacity beyond 4 M TEU by 2028. Strategically, COSCO is building the Chancay megaport in Peru (Phase-1 2027; 3.5 M TEU hub), giving its Pacific services a direct South-America gateway. ESG-wise, the state carrier is trial-ling methanol and battery-hybrid feeders to meet a 50 % CO₂-intensity cut by 2030. TrackCargo combines COSCO’s EDI/API feed with live AIS to refresh milestones every 90 min and group multiple containers under one BL for a single-timeline view.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common tracking questions

Which SCAC codes does COSCO use?
COSCO containers and bills may carry one of three SCAC codes: COSU (global), COEU (Europe subsidiary) or COAU (Asia/Latin America divisions). TrackCargo recognises all three when you file AMS/ISF or create trackings via API.
What references can I use to track a COSCO shipment?
Enter any COSCO or OOCL container, booking or master BL starting with COSU, COAU or COEU—e.g. COSU9876543. TrackCargo fetches milestones automatically.
Does TrackCargo group multiple COSCO containers under one BL?
Yes. If a master BL covers several boxes, TrackCargo merges them into a single timeline so you can follow load, trans-shipment and final delivery in one view.
How many COSCO shipments can I monitor on the Free plan?
The Free tier lets you follow up to 30 live shipments—COSCO, OOCL or any other carrier—at the same time.
What extras do I get on the Pro plan for COSCO containers?
Pro unlocks unlimited monthly shipments, instant delay & arrival alerts, shareable tracking links, bulk CSV export, deep analytics and full REST API access. Predictive ETAs will join the Pro feature set once released.
Is there an API for creating COSCO trackings?
Absolutely. Use the TrackCargo REST API to POST a container or BL, pull live status in JSON and receive webhook events for every milestone—ideal for TMS or ERP integrations.
