Hikaru Shipping Line
SCAC: HIKU
Dubai-based container line founded in 2012, serving 40+ ports across the Middle East, Red Sea, Med and Asia.
Hikaru Shipping Line was founded in Dubai in 2012 and operates out of the DMCC free zone. It started as a small regional carrier and has grown into a mid-sized operator focused on the trade corridors that fan out from the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and the eastern Mediterranean. Rather than chasing the big east-west mainhaul lanes, the company built its network around exporting regions and a set of niche destinations across Eurasia, the Horn of Africa and the wider Middle East.

About Hikaru Shipping Line
Hikaru Shipping Line was founded in Dubai in 2012 and operates out of the DMCC free zone. It started as a small regional carrier and has grown into a mid-sized operator focused on the trade corridors that fan out from the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and the eastern Mediterranean. Rather than chasing the big east-west mainhaul lanes, the company built its network around exporting regions and a set of niche destinations across Eurasia, the Horn of Africa and the wider Middle East.
The line reports service to more than 40 ports spanning the Red Sea, the Gulf, the Mediterranean, East Africa, the Far East and the Indian subcontinent. Its named services connect China with India, Pakistan and the Gulf, and link South Asia and the Mediterranean. In 2025 Hikaru added three routes tying Egyptian ports (Alexandria, Damietta and Sokhna) to Turkey, Jeddah, Nhava Sheva, Mundra and onward to Chinese hubs such as Shanghai, Qingdao and Nansha.
Hikaru handles both FCL and LCL cargo and moves general freight in standard dry containers alongside flat racks for oversized and out-of-gauge shipments. It also works across sea, rail and road, positioning itself as a practical option for shippers on Asia-to-Middle East and Africa lanes where the global alliances have thinner coverage.

How do I track a Hikaru Shipping Line shipment?
Enter your Hikaru Shipping Line container number, Bill of Lading (BOL), or booking number into Panvaya's tracker. You'll get the live vessel route, milestone events, and a predictive ETA in real time, with no Hikaru Shipping Line account or login needed for a quick lookup.

Yes, you can track Hikaru Shipping Line shipments for free, with no login for a quick lookup. Sign in to unlock the full journey: detailed milestones, predictive ETAs, transhipment legs, and exception alerts.
Why isn't my Hikaru Shipping Line container updating?
Hikaru Shipping Line tracking reflects what the carrier and vessel feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as vessel departure or discharge) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Hikaru Shipping Line shipments?
Panvaya combines Hikaru Shipping Line's schedule with live vessel position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
