About CaroTrans

CaroTrans, one of the world’s larger wholesale LCL (less-than-container-load) consolidators, running the CaroWise platform for its forwarder customers. A pure NVOCC ‘wholesaler’: CaroTrans sells ocean LCL space to freight forwarders, never direct to the shipper.

Main trade areas: North America, Latin America, Asia, Oceania and Europe.

How to track a CaroTrans container

Every CaroTrans box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. CaroTrans prefixes include CTNS. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.

CaroTrans is a forwarder or NVOCC, so the box usually moves on another line's vessel. Tracking by the CaroTrans bill of lading still works: we follow the underlying carrier and show one timeline.
