ACLU Container Prefix Owner

ACLU is a container owner code associated with Atlantic Container Line (ACL). Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: ACLU
Owner or operator: Atlantic Container Line (ACL)

The four-letter prefix ACLU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Atlantic Container Line (ACL).

A complete container number combines the owner prefix, six-digit serial number, and check digit. The prefix identifies registered equipment ownership and does not always identify the carrier currently transporting the container.

Use the CargoEnter container validator to check the number structure before starting shipment tracking.

ACLU container number format

A container number starting with ACLU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example ACLU1234567.

Who uses ACLU containers

ACLU is registered to Atlantic Container Line (ACL). Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
