How to read a T.S. Lines bill of lading number
A bill of lading number identifies the transport document, not the box: it usually starts with the carrier’s four-letter code (its SCAC) — followed by the document number.
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.
If your T.S. Lines 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. 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 T.S. Lines’ 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 Paste carefully on T.S. Lines’ page
T.S. Lines asks you to type the number on its own page, so paste it exactly — no spaces before or after, and no extra characters picked up from an email. If the page shows a security check, complete it and search again.
-
5 Still nothing?
Contact whoever sold you the freight service (your forwarder, broker, or T.S. Lines directly) with the bill of lading number and the booking reference — they can see internal status that public tracking doesn’t show.
