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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One credit tracks one unique container for 30 days. Re-tracking the same container within those 30 days is free. Credits expire 12 months after purchase.
The sweet spot for mid-size import/export ops.
