Container IDs, also known as BIC codes (Container Identification Code), are unique alphanumeric codes used to identify cargo containers in international maritime transport. Here's an explanation of how they work:
Unique Identification: Each container has a unique ID composed of 11 alphanumeric characters. These codes are internationally standardized according to ISO 6346.
Code Structure: The BIC code consists of four main parts:
Prefix: The first three characters indicate the owner and/or operator of the container.
Check Digit: The fourth character is a check digit that helps detect input errors.
Serial Number: The next six characters form the container's unique serial number.
Suffix: The last two characters can be letters that identify the container's size and type.
