- Prefix
- PCIU
- Owner or operator
- Pacific International Lines
The four-letter prefix PCIU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Pacific International Lines.
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.
PCIU container number format
A container number starting with PCIU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example PCIU1234567.

Enter the full PCIU number to request events. PCIU is a known prefix for Pacific International Lines (PIL), but leased or exchanged equipment can travel with another shipping line, so check the operating carrier if nothing appears.
