What it does

Finds every container number in free text, CSV cells or a plain list — also when written as MSKU 123456-5, msku1234565 or MSKU-123-456-5.
Validates the ISO 6346 check digit and tells you the correct digit when a number has a typo.
Deduplicates and counts how often each container appears and in which source line.
Identifies the owner: carrier (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, COSCO, Evergreen, …) or leasing company (Textainer, Triton, CAI, …) — best-effort hint from the owner code.
Decodes ISO size/type codes such as 22G1, 45G1, 45R1.

No websites are scraped and no third-party data is fetched: results are instant, private and stable.

Who uses it

Freight forwarders, customs brokers, shippers and logistics developers who want to:

clean container lists before sending them to a tracking tool or TMS;
catch typos before they cause failed bookings or customs declarations;
automate inbox processing with Make, Zapier, n8n or the Apify API.

Input

Field	Example
`text`	`Please load CSQU 305438-3 and MSKU1234565.`
`containerNumbers`	`["CSQU3054383", "HLCU1234560"]`
`csvText`	`ref,container\nA1,HLCU1234560`
`includeInvalid`	`true`
`sizeTypeCodes`	`["45G1"]`

Output (one row per unique container)

{
  "container_number": "CSQU3054384",
  "formatted": "CSQU 305438-4",
  "is_valid": false,
  "expected_check_digit": 3,
  "owner_code": "CSQU",
  "category": "freight container",
  "carrier_hint": null,
  "owner_type": null,
  "occurrences": 1,
  "raw_matches": ["CSQU3054384"],
  "source_ids": ["list:1"]
}

A SUMMARY record in the key-value store gives totals and the decoded size/type codes. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Pricing

Pay per result: you only pay for unique containers returned. Text without container numbers costs nothing beyond the run start.

Limitations

The carrier/lessor hint covers the largest owners only. The official owner-code registry is maintained by BIC; unknown codes return null.
A valid check digit proves the number is well-formed, not that the container exists or is in service.
