Container Tracking API

New features

  • Improved reference number handling across multiple carriers — the API now automatically detects and strips carrier prefixes from bill-of-lading numbers for Evergreen, Hapag-Lloyd, PIL, Yang Ming, MSC, and ACL, improving lookup success rates
  • MSC tracking now falls back to container-level search when a bill-of-lading lookup returns containers without events
  • ZIM bill-of-lading numbers are now automatically formatted with the required carrier prefix
  • Reference updates now include top-level shipment data (e.g., vessel, voyage) even when no new milestones are present

Bugs squashed

  • ONE Line "Gate in to Outbound Terminal" event now correctly maps to a standard "Gate in" milestone
  • Maersk milestones at transshipment ports no longer misclassified when the vessel berths at a port scheduled for future transshipment
  • Maersk AIS vessel departure milestone is now suppressed until the carrier confirms the departure
  • List References endpoint now properly sorts results
  • PIL now included in automatic carrier identification attempts
