German-owned, privately held carrier founded in 1985 and based in Richmond, Virginia, specializing solely in the North Atlantic trade. It has won Lloyd’s North Atlantic Schedule Reliability Award more often than any other carrier on the lane.
Main trade areas: Atlantic and North Europe.
Every Independent Container Line box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Independent Container Line prefixes include IILU and ICUU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.
The tracker joins Independent Container 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.
Before booking, compare sailings on your lane by transit time and real on-time reliability across all carriers, Independent Container 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 Independent Container Line's free time runs out, and Navo24 counts the days left on every box.
Independent Container Line's Standard Carrier Alpha Code is IILU.
Independent Container Line containers use the owner prefixes IILU and ICUU, followed by six digits and a check digit.
Paste the container, bill of lading or booking number into the tracking box on this page. No sign-up is needed for a single lookup.
