Eimskip, Iceland’s national shipping and cold-chain line founded in Reykjavik in 1914 by public subscription, specializing in reefer and North Atlantic trades. Icelanders called it ’the favourite child of the nation’, some 15,000 people, a sixth of the country, bought founding shares.
Eimskip was founded in 1914 and is headquartered in Reykjavík, Iceland. Its main trade areas: North Europe, Atlantic and Baltic.
Every Eimskip box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Eimskip prefixes include EIMU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins Eimskip'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.
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Eimskip 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 Eimskip's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
Eimskip's Standard Carrier Alpha Code is EIMU.
Eimskip containers use the owner prefixes EIMU, followed by six digits and a check digit.
