Container Tracking · Live

Track any container.
Anywhere it goes.

Enter a container number, Bill of Lading, or carrier booking reference. We surface every port call, every vessel transfer, and the live AIS position of the carrier ship — across 95% of global ocean freight.

Re-tracking the same container within 30 days is free. See pricing →

What you get

Every detail. From booking to gate-out.

Three things make container tracking actually useful: knowing where the ship is right now, seeing every leg of the journey, and getting answers fast without burning credits.

01 · Live vessel

The carrier ship's position, every two minutes.

Your container's vessel is plotted live from global AIS feeds — coastal receivers and satellite networks blended into one stream. See speed, heading, and the next port long before the carrier publishes an ETA update.

  • 2-minute refresh on AIS positions when the vessel is in coastal coverage
  • Satellite AIS fallback for ocean crossings where coastal stations can't reach
  • Voyage history — every prior port call of the same hull, useful for rotation planning

02 · Multi-leg journey

Every port. Every vessel change. As a timeline.

Most boxes don't go A-to-B. They transship at Singapore, Manzanillo, Tanger Med — sometimes three vessels in a single move. Broadpath rebuilds the full chain so ops can answer "where exactly is it?" without opening five carrier portals.

  • Transshipment hubs resolved automatically — Singapore PSA, Tanger Med, Manzanillo, and 200+ more
  • Gate events — gate-in, gate-out, customs clearance, empty return — all timestamped
  • Vessel handoffs — when the same container changes ships, we surface the new MMSI immediately

03 · Smart caching

Refresh anxiety, retired.

Carrier APIs are slow, expensive, and rate-limited. Broadpath caches the response for 30 days — re-track the same container as many times as you want, no extra credits burned. Built for the people who check three times before a stand-up.

  • One credit covers a container for 30 days of unlimited re-tracking
  • Auto-refresh once a day in the background — you always see fresh data when you open the dashboard
  • Historical events preserved after the 30-day window — auto-polling pauses, but you never lose what we collected

Carrier coverage

Built on aggregated carrier APIs.

~95%
OF GLOBAL OCEAN FREIGHT

We talk to the major ocean carriers directly, and to JSON Cargo + AIS aggregators for the long tail. Any shipment booked with one of these lines — including the thousands of NVOCCs booking through them — resolves through Broadpath.
