Swire tracking FAQ
- How do I track a Swire shipment?
- Paste your Swire container number, bill of lading number, or booking number into the tracker on this page — once. Terminal49 auto-detects the format, then keeps the shipment current automatically by reconciling the carrier's own feed, destination terminals, and vessels into one timeline. Tracking is free and refreshes roughly every 4 hours, so you never re-check a carrier site.
- What is Swire's SCAC code?
- Swire's primary SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) is CHVW. Swire containers carry the CHVW, SHKU prefixes.
- Can I track a Swire bill of lading number?
- Yes. Terminal49 tracks Swire bill of lading numbers and follows every container booked under that document. Booking numbers are supported too.
- How often is Swire tracking data updated?
- You track Swire once — Terminal49 then keeps the data current automatically, refreshing roughly every 4 hours by reconciling the carrier's own feed, destination terminals, and vessels into one timeline so the status stays accurate end to end without you re-checking.
