About Great White Fleet
Great White Fleet, a refrigerated-cargo specialist with roots in Chiquita’s banana shipping. The name comes from United Fruit’s white-hulled banana ships of a century ago.
Main trade areas: Central America, South America, US and Europe.
How to track a Great White Fleet container
Every Great White Fleet box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Great White Fleet prefixes include GWFU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins Great White Fleet'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.
Great White Fleet schedules, rates and free time
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Great White Fleet 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 Great White Fleet's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
