Lykes Lines container tracking, now with Hapag-Lloyd.

What happened to Lykes Lines

Canadian Pacific bought the container business of Lykes Bros. Steamship in 1997 and ran it as Lykes Lines within CP Ships. In 2005 TUI agreed to buy CP Ships to strengthen its container line, Hapag-Lloyd, which CP Ships then joined.

Tracking a former Lykes Lines shipment

Look the shipment up with Hapag-Lloyd, using the reference Hapag-Lloyd 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 Lykes Lines prefix.

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

Track Hapag-Lloyd shipments in CargoScope
