Track a box, pick a sailing, price the lane and count the free days. Every tool below works for Arkas boxes and lanes.
How to track a Arkas container
Every Arkas box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Arkas prefixes include ARKU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins Arkas'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.
Arkas schedules, rates and free time
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Arkas included where it publishes schedules.
For the price, FreightRatesMCP shows market rates for 20GP, 40GP and 40HC on a port pair. After arrival, demurrage and detention start once Arkas's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
