Portcast strives to provide the largest coverage of carrier tracking; below you can find a table with the coverage by carrier related to the event/location pairs that Portcast can track.

We also encourage you to read the details of some specific coverage particulars for specific carriers that might guide you in the best practices regarding uploading or reading tracking information for containers under those same carriers.

Carrier coverage particulars

COSCO Container Lines (COSU)

When tracking COSCO shipment uploads, visibility into sailing information can only be had if the upload has been done with BL/Booking numbers. Additionally, for both BL/Booking or Container number uploads, not all past events are available due to limitations with the provided tracking information from the carriers; typically only the latest event is available.

Evergreen Marine Corp. (EGLV)

When tracking EGLV containers, we strongly encourage including the BL/Booking number during upload, as doing so will mean having access to all events in the container voyage. Without BL/Booking number, using only the Container number, only the latest event is available.

KMTC

When tracking KMTC-carried containers, it is preferable to use the Bill of Lading number and BL-based upload; contrary to most carriers, KMTC’s API does not allow tracking by Container Number. Portcast will try to mitigate when KMTC’s containers are added via Container Number, but for optimal performance of tracking and container detection, we encourage you to upload using the BL number.

MSC (MSCU)

Tracking of final POD information can be limited in certain situations for MSC containers. This is because MSC shares Point of Discharge (POD) information, including POD ETA, only after the LOAD event has happened onto a vessel.

This might lead to a later-than-expected access to final POD information on certain containers because, contrary to most other carriers who report the information for the ‘mother vessel’ of the voyage early on, MSC only do it once the LOAD event has happened onto it, and don't consistently report voyage itinerary information for future events that have yet to occur.
