About Hikaru Shipping
Dubai-based container line established in 2012, focused on niche corridors linking Asia with the Middle East, Horn of Africa and Eurasia. A boutique operator that leans into the awkward niche lanes bigger lines skip, plus out-of-gauge flat-rack cargo.
Main trade areas: Middle East, East Africa, Intra-Asia and Mediterranean.
How to track a Hikaru Shipping container
Every Hikaru Shipping box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Hikaru Shipping prefixes include BSUU and CCUU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins Hikaru Shipping'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.
Hikaru Shipping schedules, rates and free time
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Hikaru Shipping 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 Hikaru Shipping's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
