How to read an Eimskip bill of lading number
EIMU1268510 example only — not a real shipment
A bill of lading number identifies the transport document, not the box: it usually starts with the carrier’s four-letter code (its SCAC) — EIMU for Eimskip — followed by the document number, e.g. EIMU1268510.
You’ll find it top-right on the B/L or sea waybill. It’s different from the container number (which identifies the physical box and can cover several containers on one B/L) and from your booking reference — if one identifier returns nothing, try the other on the carrier’s page.
Eimskip numbers usually carry this carrier code:
EIMU If your Eimskip tracking isn’t working
-
1 Check the number format first
Bill-of-lading numbers start with the carrier’s letter code followed by the document number (like EIMU1268510). Make sure you’re using the B/L number, not the container number or the booking reference — they’re three different identifiers on the same paperwork.
-
2 Make sure the number was issued by this carrier
If your shipment was booked through a freight forwarder, the number on your paperwork may be the forwarder’s own reference, which Eimskip’s system won’t recognise. Ask whoever issued your documents which carrier number to use — or paste the number on our homepage and we’ll work out who it belongs to.
-
3 Too early or too late
Timing matters: a number that was only just issued may not show results yet, and carriers remove old shipments from public tracking a few weeks after delivery. If the shipment is very new or long delivered, an empty result doesn’t mean the number is wrong.
-
4 Still nothing?
Contact whoever sold you the freight service (your forwarder, broker, or Eimskip directly) with the bill of lading number and the booking reference — they can see internal status that public tracking doesn’t show.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I track an Eimskip bill of lading?
- Type your bill of lading number in the box above and press Track. You’ll land on Eimskip’s own tracking page with your number already filled in. Eimskip bill of lading numbers usually begin with EIMU.
- What does an Eimskip bill of lading number look like?
- Bill-of-lading numbers usually start with the carrier’s four-letter code (its SCAC prefix) followed by the document number — for example COSU6285551440. For Eimskip the carrier code is EIMU. A format-valid example is EIMU1268510.
- Can I bookmark or share my Eimskip tracking link?
- Yes — once your shipment comes up on Eimskip’s page, you can bookmark that page or send the link to a colleague, and they’ll see the same shipment.
- What if my number doesn’t start with EIMU?
- Then it probably wasn’t issued by Eimskip — shipments booked through a freight forwarder or partner carrier often travel under another company’s bill of lading number. Paste the number on our homepage and we’ll suggest the right carriers and forwarder, or check your shipping paperwork for who issued it.
- Is this Eimskip’s official tracking site?
- No — this is a free, independent tool that brings every carrier’s tracking together in one place. When you track here you end up on Eimskip’s own page, so everything you see comes straight from Eimskip. We never see or store your shipment details.
