Scanning Container Codes
You can capture a container code in seconds by simply using your device’s scanner. Our scanner recognizes container codes both horizontally and vertically, making the process fast and flexible.
What Is a Container Code?
Container codes follow the BIC (Bureau International des Containers) standard. Only ISO alpha-codes (owner prefixes) registered with BIC may be used to uniquely identify container owners in international transport and customs documentation.
Each container code consists of four key parts:
-
Owner Prefix – A three-letter code identifying the container owner
-
Equipment Identifier – A letter indicating the type of container
-
Serial Number – A six-digit number unique to the container
-
Check Digit – A single digit used to validate the code
