CBHU Container Prefix Owner

CBHU is a container owner code associated with COSCO. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: CBHU
Owner or operator: COSCO

The four-letter prefix CBHU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with COSCO.

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.

CBHU container number format

A container number starting with CBHU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example CBHU1234567.

Who uses CBHU containers

CBHU is registered to COSCO. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
