STIU Container Prefix Owner

STIU is a container owner code associated with ZAO STIM. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: STIU
Owner or operator: ZAO STIM

The four-letter prefix STIU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with ZAO STIM.

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.

A container number starting with STIU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example STIU1234567.

Who uses STIU containers

STIU is registered to ZAO STIM. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
