TPOU Container Prefix Owner

TPOU is a container owner code associated with Trans-Ports S.A. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix: TPOU
Owner or operator: Trans-Ports S.A

The four-letter prefix TPOU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Trans-Ports S.A.

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.

Who uses TPOU containers

TPOU is registered to Trans-Ports S.A. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
