Ocean Network Express container prefixes

Every intermodal container carries an ISO 6346 owner code — three letters identifying the owner, plus a single category letter (almost always U for freight containers). These four-letter prefixes are the fastest way to identify which carrier controls a given box. Ocean Network Express has the following registered prefixes recorded in the BIC database. If a container in your possession begins with any of these codes, the box is owned by or leased on long term to Ocean Network Express.

To track a container under one of these prefixes, contact the carrier directly using the bill-of-lading number or container number. Most ocean carriers expose a public tracking endpoint on their website that accepts either format. Ocean Network Express publishes its tracking page under the main one-line.com domain.

How to track a Ocean Network Express container

Tracking a Ocean Network Express container starts with confirming the prefix. Look at the container's left-hand corner casting plate or the painted code on the door — the four-letter ISO 6346 owner code (e.g. ONEU) is followed by six numeric digits and a single check digit. If the prefix matches one in the list above, the box is on a Ocean Network Express bill of lading. Visit one-line.com, navigate to the carrier's tracking or "track and trace" portal, and paste the full container number. The portal will return current vessel position, the next scheduled port call, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and the most recent equipment events such as gate-in, loaded, discharged and gate-out.

If the carrier portal does not return a result, the most likely causes are: the container has not yet been gate-in at the origin terminal, the bill of lading number is in a different format (check whether the system expects an MBL versus an HBL), or the box is moving on a partner alliance vessel rather than a Ocean Network Express hull. In the last case, the prefix still resolves to Ocean Network Express as equipment owner but the schedule data lives with the operating carrier. Ocean Network Express's customer service can normally cross-reference the booking and route you to the correct alliance partner. Reach the carrier on +65 6679 8888 during European business hours.
