About Gold Star Line

How to track a Gold Star Line container

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

The tracker joins Gold Star Line'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.

Gold Star Line schedules, rates and free time

Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Gold Star Line 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 Gold Star Line's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
