 Shipment Reference Overview
Shipment Reference ImageTrack your APL shipments using the most convenient tracking numbers available -- your own.

APL now makes it easy to track your shipments by your own “shipment reference” which is any combination of letters, words or numbers that identifies your shipment. Examples include:
  • Purchase order number
  • Invoice number
  • Warehouse or store code
  • Letter of Credit number
  • Third-party reference number
A shipment reference can also be words that describe details about your shipment:
  • Urgent
  • From ABC Consignee
  • To Warehouse #7
Benefits to You

Gain added flexibility and convenience when monitoring your global supply chain:
  • You no longer have to remember specific bill of lading or container numbers; instead track by references that are meaningful to your business -- and to your customers.

  • Integrate APL shipment details with your existing document and billing systems.

  • Allow your trading partners (such as truckers, brokers and forwarding agents) to track only the shipments you want them to.
As Easy as 1-2-3

1. ASSIGN
Assign your shipment reference to BLs or containers directly from HomePort. You can choose any combination of letters and numbers up to 35 characters.

2. UPDATE
It's easy to update, modify and re-use your reference once you've assigned them. Group multiple shipments under one reference to consolidate tracking. For example, all shipments destined to a particular consignee.

3. TRACK
  • Go to HomePort and choose Shipment Reference.
  • Enter your reference number, and you'll instantly receive tracking results, including delivery status.
  • Shipment Reference Tracking is free to our HomePort users.
