CCLU Container Prefix Owner

CCLU is a container owner code associated with CMA-CGM. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: CCLU
Owner or operator: CMA-CGM

The four-letter prefix CCLU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with CMA-CGM.

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.

CCLU container number format

A container number starting with CCLU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example CCLU1234567.

Who uses CCLU containers

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