The four-letter prefix SITU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with Sitc Container Lines.
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.

Who uses SITU containers
SITU is registered to Sitc Container Lines. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
