Tracking FAQ

What can I track with Panvaya?

Panvaya tracks ocean freight by container number, bill of lading, or booking reference across supported shipping lines. If a carrier is not yet available, Panvaya shows an availability message instead of incomplete tracking data.

Do I need to know the carrier?

No. Paste a container number and Panvaya identifies the carrier automatically from the container's owner prefix (BIC/SCAC). You can also select a carrier when tracking a bill of lading or booking reference.

What updates do I get after a shipment is added?

You get milestone status at every stage, from gate-out and load-on-vessel through departure, transshipment, arrival and final delivery, plus the current location on a live map and an estimated time of arrival. Exception alerts flag delays, rollovers and ETA changes, so you hear about a problem in time to act on it.

Can I share tracking with customers or colleagues?

Yes. Every shipment has a public tracking link you can share, optionally password-protected, so a customer or teammate sees the live status and ETA without a Panvaya login. It replaces the back-and-forth of forwarding screenshots and status emails.

How does tracking help me avoid demurrage and detention?

Because Panvaya watches arrival and free-time milestones for you, you know when a box has landed and when the free-time clock starts before charges accrue. Paired with the Control Tower and demurrage calculator, that visibility is what lets teams pick up and return containers in time and cut avoidable D&D charges.

Is tracking free?

Yes. Ocean container tracking is free with a Panvaya account, and creating one takes a minute with no credit card. The same account also unlocks sailing schedules, the demurrage and load calculators, port congestion and the rest of the toolset.
