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.

Why isn't my Seaboard Marine container updating?
Seaboard Marine 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 Seaboard Marine shipments?
Panvaya combines Seaboard Marine'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.
