OOCU is a container owner code associated with Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL). Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: OOCU
Owner or operator: Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL)

The four-letter prefix OOCU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL).

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.
