The four-letter prefix WCTU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Wiencont Management GmbH.
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 WCTU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example WCTU1234567.
Who uses WCTU containers
WCTU is registered to Wiencont Management GmbH. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
