How to track a Cargo-Partner shipment
4 steps
Find your Cargo-Partner reference. Locate your Cargo-Partner container number, bill of lading, or booking number; it is on your booking confirmation, arrival notice, or commercial invoice.
Enter it at trackingmcp.com/track/cargo-partner. Paste the reference into the search box. TrackingMCP auto-detects whether it is a container, bill of lading, or booking number and resolves it to Cargo-Partner.
Read the live, cross-checked status. See Cargo-Partner's own milestones, the vessel's live AIS position, the published schedule, and a forecast ETA side by side, so one stale source cannot mislead you.
Watch the demurrage & detention clock. Track the free-time countdown and get an alert before Cargo-Partner demurrage or detention charges begin to accrue.
What you'll see when tracking Cargo-Partner
DCSA model
Every Cargo-Partner shipment is normalised to the DCSA Track & Trace model, so the milestones read the same as any other carrier:
Gate-inThe empty or full container enters the origin terminal or depot.
LoadedThe container is loaded onto the ocean vessel.
Vessel departureThe ship sails from the load port (the free-time clock has not started yet).
TransshipmentOn indirect routings, the box is discharged and reloaded at a hub port.
Arrival & dischargeThe vessel arrives at the destination port and the container is discharged; this is when import demurrage free time starts.
Gate-out / deliveredThe container leaves the terminal for delivery; detention free time runs until you return it empty.
Cargo-Partner demurrage & detention free time
free-time clock
Every Cargo-Partner import container has a free-time clock: the calendar days before demurrage (box left in the terminal) or detention (box kept out too long) charges start. Look up Cargo-Partner's published free days by country on the free-time reference →, and TrackingMCP alerts you before the clock runs out.
Cargo-Partner container number format, and the mistakes that break tracking
ISO 6346
Cargo-Partner doesn't publish its own container prefixes, so most shipments track by bill of lading or booking number; both work in the search box above.
Letter O vs zeroThe classic. Container numbers never contain the letter O in the digit positions. If tracking returns nothing, check character 5 onwards.
Spaces and hyphensFine either way; TrackingMCP strips them. But a missing final check digit makes the number unresolvable.
B/L pasted as a container numberBills of lading have a different shape. Paste it as-is and the format is auto-detected.
Wrong check digitOne mistyped digit fails silently on many carrier sites. Validate any number with the free ISO 6346 check-digit calculator →
Cargo-Partner tracking statuses that confuse people
5 answers
RolledYour container missed its planned vessel; usually overbooking or a schedule change, and is rebooked onto a later sailing. The new ETD/ETA shows once the carrier assigns the next vessel.
Transshipment in progressThe box was discharged at an intermediate hub and is waiting for its connecting vessel. Days without a new event here are normal; hubs often move a box only when the connection arrives.
Discharged vs. availableDischarged means the crane took the box off the ship; available means the terminal has released it for pickup after unstacking, customs and fee clearance. The gap is typically hours to a few days.
Customs or carrier holdThe container is physically at the terminal but blocked from release; customs inspection, unpaid charges, or missing documents. Tracking looks "stuck" until the hold clears.
Empty returnedThe importer has returned the empty box to the depot; the shipment cycle is complete and this is the final event on most timelines.
Cargo-Partner tracking not updating? Six reasons
6 reasons
Carrier events lag at origin. Cargo-Partner's own systems often post the first events 24–48 hours after gate-in or loading. If your booking is fresh, the timeline fills in as the carrier's data catches up.
The box is on a feeder or transshipment leg. Between discharge at a hub and loading onto the connecting vessel, many carriers publish nothing. The live vessel position keeps moving on TrackingMCP even when Cargo-Partner's milestones pause.
Wrong reference type. A booking number can stop updating once the carrier splits it into containers. Track by container number for the fullest history; TrackingMCP auto-detects which type you pasted.
The shipment is too new. A booking confirmed today may not be in Cargo-Partner's public tracking yet. It usually appears within a day of the carrier issuing the booking confirmation.
Mid-ocean quiet stretch. On a long leg there are simply no port events to report. Satellite AIS position and the forecast ETA still update daily; milestones resume at the next port call.
A typo in the reference. One wrong character (the letter O vs zero is the classic) returns an empty or stale record. Validate the number with the free ISO 6346 check-digit calculator.

Cargo-Partner tracking FAQ
6 questions
How do I track a Cargo-Partner shipment?
Enter your Cargo-Partner container number, bill of lading, or booking reference in the search box above. TrackingMCP auto-detects the format and returns live carrier events, the vessel's AIS position, and a forecast ETA. Your first shipment is free, no account needed to start.
What is Cargo-Partner's SCAC code?
Cargo-Partner is tracked by bill of lading or booking number; TrackingMCP resolves the carrier for you, so you don't need a SCAC code.
What do Cargo-Partner container numbers look like?
Cargo-Partner doesn't publish its own container prefixes, so track by bill of lading or booking number instead; TrackingMCP still pulls the full journey.
How accurate is Cargo-Partner tracking?
Every Cargo-Partner shipment is cross-checked across four independent sources; the carrier's own events, live AIS vessel position, the published schedule, and a forecast ETA, so one stale or wrong source can't mislead you.
Why is my Cargo-Partner tracking not updating?
Usually one of: Cargo-Partner posts events 24–48h behind reality at origin, the box is between vessels at a transshipment hub, the shipment is too new to be in the system, or there's a typo in the reference. TrackingMCP cross-checks the live vessel position and schedule, so you still see movement while carrier milestones pause.
