🎫 Shipping Container

A shipping container is a standardized intermodal freight box identified by an ISO 6346 owner-code and serial number, used to move cargo across ocean, rail and road. In investigations it links a physical consignment to carriers, bills of lading, ports of loading/discharge and consignees, exposing trade-based money laundering, sanctions evasion and smuggling routes.

Format: ISO 6346: 4-letter prefix (3 owner code + equipment category U/J/Z) + 6 serial digits + 1 check digit (e.g. MSKU1234565). Check digit validated via ISO 6346 modulo-11 algorithm.

📡 How it is collected

• Bill of lading / manifest data (e.g. import records, ImportGenius/Panjiva feeds)
• Carrier and terminal container-tracking portals
• AIS-linked port call and gate-move records
• Customs seizure and inspection reports
• Physical observation / photographs of container markings
• EDI messages (BAPLIE stowage plans, CODECO gate moves)
