SISU Container Prefix Owner

SISU is a container owner code associated with TAL International. Learn how BIC container prefixes identify equipment owners and operators.

Prefix
SISU
Owner or operator
TAL International

The four-letter prefix SISU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with TAL International.

A complete container number combines the owner prefix, six-digit serial number, and check digit. The prefix identifies registered equipment ownership and does not always identify the carrier currently transporting the container.

Use the CargoEnter container validator to check the number structure before starting shipment tracking.

SISU container number format

A container number starting with SISU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example SISU1234567.

Who uses SISU containers

SISU is registered to TAL International. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
