How to track a Hamburg Sud container
Every Hamburg Sud box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Hamburg Sud prefixes include SUDU and HASU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins Hamburg Sud'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.
Hamburg Sud schedules, rates and free time
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Hamburg Sud 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 Hamburg Sud's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
