FSCU container tracking (Florens)
Containers with the prefix FSCU belong to Florens, a leasing company that rents containers to shipping lines and other operators. The prefix does not tell you which line is carrying the box, so track it with the line named on your bill of lading or booking.
FSCU
Triplicate does not track containers itself: it checks the number and sends you to the shipping line's own tracking page, which shows the live status. Prefixes were checked against the BIC owner-code registry in September 2026; lines also use leased containers.

How a container number works
A container number (ISO 6346) has 11 characters: a 3-letter owner code, an equipment category letter (U for freight containers), a 6-digit serial number and a check digit. The check digit catches most typing mistakes, so check it before you book or send documents.
How to track a shipment
Shipping lines let you track by container number, bill of lading number or booking number on their own websites. The container number is on the container doors, the packing list and the bill of lading; the bill of lading number is on the B/L your forwarder sends you.
If tracking shows nothing
Status usually appears once the empty container is picked up or the full one enters the terminal. If nothing shows, check the number for typos, make sure you are on the right line's site (leased containers can be on any line), try the bill of lading number, or ask your forwarder.
