The four-letter prefix TNCU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation.
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.
