PIL Container Tracking: Track and Trace Guide
Use PIL’s official track and trace service to check your shipment, then read each event with its location and date type. CargoFlowPlus provides a separate workspace for monitoring your references.
- Choose the matching reference type
- Check the event location
- Confirm requirements before acting
Check with PIL
Open PIL track and traceExternal carrier website. CargoFlowPlus tracking starts separately inside your account.
Choose the reference PIL supports
PIL’s track and trace lets you search by container number, B/L number, booking reference or purchase order number. Pick the matching option and check that the result is your shipment.
Compare references across documents
A purchase order or booking can map to several containers. Match the container numbers in PIL’s result with your own records before planning trucks or customer updates.
Read each leg separately
An arrival or discharge at a transshipment port is not the same as arrival at the final destination. Compare the event port, vessel and voyage before you use a date to book onward transport.
Confirm collection conditions
A discharge event from PIL does not confirm customs clearance, cargo release or terminal pickup availability. Check those with the carrier, terminal or your agent before arranging collection.
How CargoFlowPlus handles it
- Check the carrier result: Use the official PIL lookup and confirm that the returned journey matches your shipment.
- Test your CargoFlowPlus reference: Choose PIL and the available reference type in your account. Confirm the request there to start tracking; coverage varies by reference and route.
- Review updates in context: Read reported milestones and carrier ETA alongside your other shipments. Confirm collection conditions with the responsible parties.
Is this the official PIL tracking website?
No. This is a CargoFlowPlus guide linking to PIL’s own service. The two services have separate access and tracking workflows.
Will both services show exactly the same information?
Not necessarily. Field availability and update timing can differ. Test your own references and use the carrier or terminal for release and collection confirmation.
