PDLU is a container owner code associated with Pacific Direct Line. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: PDLU
Owner or operator: Pacific Direct Line

The four-letter prefix PDLU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Pacific Direct Line.

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.
