Seaboard Marine
SCAC: SMLU
Miami-based ocean carrier linking the U.S. with the Caribbean, Central and South America
Seaboard Marine started in 1983 to run containerized service between the United States and international ports, first working out of West Palm Beach before moving its main vessel operations to PortMiami in 1987. It is the ocean shipping arm of Seaboard Corporation, a diversified American company listed on the NYSE American (ticker SEB) whose other businesses span pork, grain, and power generation. That parentage gives the line financial backing unusual for a regional operator.

About Seaboard Marine
Seaboard Marine started in 1983 to run containerized service between the United States and international ports, first working out of West Palm Beach before moving its main vessel operations to PortMiami in 1987. It is the ocean shipping arm of Seaboard Corporation, a diversified American company listed on the NYSE American (ticker SEB) whose other businesses span pork, grain, and power generation. That parentage gives the line financial backing unusual for a regional operator.
The company built its reputation on frequent, direct sailings across the Western Hemisphere rather than on transoceanic scale. Its network reaches roughly 40 ports in about 30 countries throughout the Caribbean Basin, Central America, and South America, supported by a fleet of around 25 owned and chartered vessels and more than 60,000 dry, refrigerated, and specialized containers. Reefer capacity matters here, since produce, poultry, and perishables move heavily on these trades.
Seaboard controls its own terminals rather than leasing space, operating an 87-acre facility at PortMiami and a large cargo terminal at the Port of Houston, alongside regular calls at Houston, New Orleans, Savannah, Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn. Since 2024 it has introduced a V-Class of LNG dual-fuel ships, each about 3,500 TEU with over 1,000 reefer plugs, one of the first fleets of its kind serving intra-Americas routes.

How do I check Seaboard Marine tracking availability on Panvaya?

Can I track Seaboard Marine 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 Seaboard Marine. Carrier capabilities vary, so Panvaya shows a clear availability message instead of returning incomplete tracking data.
Is Seaboard Marine container tracking free on Panvaya?

Why isn't my Seaboard Marine container updating?
Carrier milestones can appear after the physical movement occurs. If Seaboard Marine is supported and the container is valid, a quiet timeline may mean the next event has not yet been published.

How accurate is the ETA for Seaboard Marine shipments?
When Seaboard Marine 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.
