Heung-A Shipping
SCAC: 11QU
Korea's first container line (1961), now Sinokor-owned, running intra-Asia liner services under the Heung-A brand.
Heung-A is one of the oldest names in Korean shipping. It launched the country's first regular container service in 1961 on the Korea-Japan route, then extended into Southeast Asia through the 1970s and 1980s and into China's coastal ports in the following decade. Alongside its box business, the company built a sizable parcel chemical tanker fleet, and for years it described itself as a leading chemical carrier in Asia.

About Heung-A Shipping
Heung-A is one of the oldest names in Korean shipping. It launched the country's first regular container service in 1961 on the Korea-Japan route, then extended into Southeast Asia through the 1970s and 1980s and into China's coastal ports in the following decade. Alongside its box business, the company built a sizable parcel chemical tanker fleet, and for years it described itself as a leading chemical carrier in Asia.
The container side went through heavy restructuring after Hanjin's 2016 collapse pushed Korea to consolidate its carriers. In December 2019, Heung-A's financially stressed container liner operations were acquired by domestic rival Sinokor Merchant Marine, with the two companies combining routes and offices in phases through 2020. The business kept the Heung-A name for branding, so shippers still book under Heung-A LINE while Sinokor sits behind it as owner.
Today Heung-A concentrates on short-sea and feeder trades linking Korea, Japan, China, and Southeast Asian markets such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, with connections toward the Indian Subcontinent. It cooperates with Sinokor and HMM on intra-Asia strings under arrangements including the K-Alliance and HMM+K2 consortium. At its peak the group moved well over a million TEU a year across these lanes.
Heung-A Shipping container tracking FAQ
Did Heung-A Shipping merge with KMTC?
No. That is a common mix-up. Heung-A's container liner operations were acquired by Sinokor Merchant Marine in December 2019, and the two combined their intra-Asia services through 2020. KMTC (Korea Marine Transport) is a separate South Korean carrier.
Who owns Heung-A Line now?
Sinokor Merchant Marine owns the container liner business, which it purchased from the financially troubled Heung-A Shipping in late 2019. The service kept the Heung-A brand for continuity with shippers.
What does SCAC code 11QU identify?
11QU is the Standard Carrier Alpha Code used to identify Heung-A Shipping on bills of lading and in EDI shipment data, so systems can route Heung-A container bookings correctly.
How do I check Heung-A Shipping tracking availability on Panvaya?
Enter a Heung-A Shipping container number in the tracker on this page. If the carrier integration is available, Panvaya returns the shipment milestones and route. If it is still being onboarded, you can send a carrier request and ask to be notified when support becomes available.
What is Heung-A Shipping's SCAC code?
Heung-A Shipping's SCAC code is 11QU. It identifies Heung-A Shipping on bills of lading and shipping documents and helps Panvaya match a reference to the correct carrier integration.
Can I track Heung-A Shipping containers by Bill of Lading or booking number?
Bill of Lading and booking tracking is available after sign-in when Panvaya supports that reference type for Heung-A Shipping. Carrier capabilities vary, so Panvaya shows a clear availability message instead of returning incomplete tracking data.
Is Heung-A Shipping container tracking free on Panvaya?
A guest can check one container without signing in when Heung-A Shipping tracking is supported. A Panvaya account is required for saved journeys, Bill of Lading or booking tracking, exception alerts, and additional shipments.
Why isn't my Heung-A Shipping container updating?
Carrier milestones can appear after the physical movement occurs. If Heung-A Shipping is supported and the container is valid, a quiet timeline may mean the next event has not yet been published. If the carrier is not yet available, Panvaya will show an onboarding message and a carrier-request option.
How accurate is the ETA for Heung-A Shipping shipments?
When Heung-A Shipping tracking is supported and enough journey data is available, Panvaya updates the displayed arrival estimate as new milestones and vessel information arrive. Any ETA remains an estimate rather than a delivery guarantee.
