GCNU container prefix

A container number beginning with GCNU is owned by Grimaldi, which operates under SCAC GRIU. You can track a GCNU container directly on Grimaldi. (Grimaldi container prefix → routes GCNU… boxes direct to the GNET connector (S3-… shipment refs still need carrier_code=GRIU))

How a container number is built

Every shipping container carries an ISO 6346 number: four letters then seven digits (six serial + one check digit). The first three letters are the owner code and the fourth is always U for a freight container — so the four-letter prefix identifies who owns the box. Owner ≠ always the line carrying it: leasing companies own millions of boxes that sail under many carriers, which is why a leasing prefix is tracked by bill of lading, not by the prefix.
