Tropical Tracking FAQ

Common questions about tracking Tropical shipments

How do I track a Tropical container?

Enter your container number in the search box above. Numbers start with TSCW followed by 7 digits. Our system auto-detects the carrier and retrieves the latest tracking information for you instantly.

What is the Tropical prefix?

Tropical containers use the prefix "TSCW". This 4-letter code, known as the SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code), identifies the shipping line and is the first part of every container number.

Can I track using a Bill of Lading?

Yes! Switch to "BL" mode in the search box, enter your Bill of Lading number, and our system will retrieve all associated container and shipment details. This is useful when you have multiple containers under one BL.

Is tracking free?

Basic Tropical container and BL tracking is available for free. For advanced features like bulk tracking, API access, and automated notifications, check out our premium plans.

How accurate is the tracking data?

We provide highly accurate data by connecting directly with Tropical's systems and terminal operators. Our data is updated regularly throughout the day with near real-time container movements and port activities.

What information does tracking provide?

Our tracking provides comprehensive shipment details including current location, vessel information, port of origin, destination port, estimated time of arrival (ETA), container status, and a complete timeline of all events from pickup to delivery.
