Hamburg Süd container tracking, now with Maersk.

What happened to Hamburg Süd

Maersk bought Hamburg Süd in 2017, and in January 2023 announced that the Hamburg Süd brand would be merged into Maersk's own as part of a single, unified brand. Hamburg Süd's container services now run as Maersk services.

Tracking a former Hamburg Süd shipment

Look the shipment up with Maersk, using the reference Maersk issued: its Bill of Lading or booking number, or the container number. Enter the container number exactly as it is painted on the box or printed on your documents, even when it still carries an old Hamburg Süd prefix.

• A document issued before the change can still name Hamburg Süd; ask Maersk or your booking agent for the current reference.
• If Maersk cannot find the shipment, confirm the reference with the agent that issued it before assuming the cargo has not moved.

Track Maersk shipments in CargoScope

CargoScope tracks Maersk shipments. The Maersk page lists the reference types it accepts and starts tracking; the shipment record then keeps the available milestones and ETA changes in one place.
