Waypoint makes it effortless to follow your ocean freight. Paste a container number and Waypoint detects the carrier and pulls its latest status, location, vessel, and ETA — straight from the carrier. Track as many containers as you like, and get a notification the moment a shipment actually moves (an arrival, a delay, a gate-out) — never spam on routine checks. WHY WAYPOINT • Auto-detects the carrier from the container number • Live status, location, vessel/voyage, and ETA • Change-based alerts — only when something really happens • Clean journey timeline for every shipment • No account or sign-in required — start instantly • Add carriers we don't support yet, yourself Waypoint supports major lines including COSCO, Evergreen, Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, OOCL, Yang Ming, HMM, ZIM, and KMTC. Tracking data comes directly from the carriers and is provided as-is; always confirm time-critical details with your carrier or forwarder.
