RALU Container Prefix Owner

RALU is a container owner code associated with Royal Arctic Line. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: RALU
Owner or operator: Royal Arctic Line

The four-letter prefix RALU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Royal Arctic 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.

RALU container number format

A container number starting with RALU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example RALU1234567.

Who uses RALU containers

RALU is registered to Royal Arctic Line. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
