About Wan Hai

Wan Hai Lines, a Taiwanese line founded in 1965 and long the benchmark for intra-Asia service. It started out carrying timber before pivoting to containers.

Wan Hai Lines (Wan Hai) was founded in 1965 and is headquartered in Taipei. Its main trade areas: Intra-Asia, Transpacific and India–Middle East.

How to track a Wan Hai container

Every Wan Hai box carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters (the owner prefix), six digits and a check digit. Wan Hai prefixes include WHLC, WHLU and TPCU. Enter the container number, the bill of lading or the booking reference and Navo24 detects which one it is.

The tracker joins Wan Hai'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.

Wan Hai schedules, rates and free time

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