How to track a American President Lines (APL) container

Every American President Lines (APL) box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. American President Lines (APL) prefixes include APDU, APHU, APIU, APLU, APRU, APZU and AMFU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.

The tracker joins American President Lines (APL)'s own events (gate out, loaded, departed, transhipped, discharged) with the vessel's AIS position, so you see where the box is now, not where it was at the last port call.
