SCAC code vs container prefix

  • SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code): two to four letters assigned by NMFTA. Ocean lines use it on bills of lading, in EDI messages and in US customs filings (AMS, ISF). A bill of lading number often starts with it, e.g. MAEU or MEDU.
  • Container prefix (owner code): three letters plus a category letter, registered with the BIC under ISO 6346. U is freight containers, J detachable equipment, Z trailers and chassis.
  • One line can own many prefixes, and they may not match its SCAC. Leased boxes carry the lessor's prefix (TGHU, TCNU, FCIU and so on), so a prefix alone does not always name the line that books them.
  • The last digit of a container number is a check digit. A wrong check digit almost always means a typo; the decoder above shows the correct one.
