Ocean Carrier Code Lookup

Ocean Carrier Code Lookup software or website catering to the codes are not in public use as yet but individual companies and organizations like the IMO and MARPOL do have the data concerning different ocean carrier identification codes. The codes are provided to each vessel after manufacture and could be used to identify the vessel just as the ones found on a automobile.

Ocean Carrier Codes

There are several different ocean carrier codes that are found on each ocean carrier each of which is used for a different form of identification. Automobiles also have these codes such and the registration number, chassis number and model number which help identify individual vehicles. Having different codes and numbers for different parts on board a vessel helps reduce time when ordering replacement parts for a vessel while at sea since the distance involved are vast and there is no time to waste.

The IMO, MARPOL and local government registration offices also indicate these codes on to different certificates that are required to be maintained by the vessel owners. Plotting these numbers on to the certificates ensures that shipping companies do not tamper with certification since the numbers are permanently engraved in to the vessels hull and other important parts on board a vessel.
