Use the tracking form with a complete ISO container or carrier-supported bill of lading reference. CargoEnter organizes reported events into a timeline so the latest completed movement can be separated from estimated next steps.
Tracking availability and event detail depend on information supplied by Stolt Tank Containers, terminals, airports, and handling partners. An arrival can describe a transit location and should not be treated as final delivery without a delivery or release event.
If tracking does not update, verify the reference format first. Newly issued references, interline handovers, transshipment, and delayed operational reporting can temporarily leave the timeline unchanged.
Supported container reference
Use a complete ISO container number such as STLU1234567 or a carrier-supported bill of lading reference.
Understanding ocean statuses
Gate-in, loading, departure, transshipment, discharge, and delivery describe different physical operations. Arrival or discharge at an intermediate port is not final delivery.
Troubleshooting missing updates
Check the owner prefix and check digit first. Equipment ownership can differ from the operating carrier, and terminal or transshipment reporting can delay the next event.
