Prefix
MGCU
Owner or operator
The Mac Field Group of Companies

The four-letter prefix MGCU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with The Mac Field Group of Companies.

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.
