Container Prefix Tracking

CGMU Container Tracking – CMA CGM

Track CGMU containers associated with CMA CGM. Check the ISO number format, owner identity, carrier milestones, and missing-update guidance.

Prefix
CGMU
Owner or operator
CMA CGM

The four-letter prefix CGMU 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 complete number to request available tracking events. If no events appear, confirm the operating carrier because leased or exchanged equipment can move under another shipping line.

CGMU container number format

A container number starting with CGMU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example CGMU1234567.
