About China United Lines
China United Lines (CULines), founded 2005 in Shanghai by the Unitrans Group, an intra-Asia and cross-strait container carrier now reaching to the Middle East and Europe. Cut its teeth on the Taiwan cross-strait trade before expanding into deep-sea lanes during the 2020s box boom.
Main trade areas: Intra-Asia, Middle East, North Europe and Indian subcontinent.
How to track a China United Lines container
Every China United Lines box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. China United Lines prefixes include CULU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins China United Lines'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.
China United Lines schedules, rates and free time
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, China United Lines 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 China United Lines's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
