Cordelia
Container Tracking
Cordelia is a young regional operator running Gulf, Red Sea and East Africa services, and very little about it is publicly documented. Enter a container, bill of lading or booking number for the latest milestones.
What a Cordelia tracking number looks like
The lookup above accepts any of these in the same field. If one returns nothing, try another. Carriers release milestone data against different identifiers at different stages.
Container number
4 letters + 7 digits (11 characters)
CSYU1234567Standard ISO 6346. CSYU is the only prefix registered to Cordelia, so most boxes on a Cordelia booking will be leased and carry another owner's code.
Bill of lading number
Alphanumeric, no publicly documented format
CORDXXX123456Cordelia publishes no specification. Enter the number exactly as printed on your document.
Booking number
Alphanumeric
12345678Accepted in the same field as container and B/L numbers.
Cordelia container prefixes
These owner codes are registered to Cordelia Container Shipping Line in the BIC ISO 6346 register. Containers moving under a Cordelia booking may also carry a leasing company's prefix. A leased box is still your shipment, the prefix just does not identify the carrier.
How to track a Cordelia shipment
- 1
Find your container or BL number
It is printed on your bill of lading, your booking confirmation, or on the container door itself. Any of the three works in the search box above.
- 2
Cordelia is already selected
Because you are on the Cordelia page, the carrier dropdown is filled in for you. If you actually need a different line, change it. The selection is not locked.
- 3
Enter the number and press Track
Type it exactly as printed. Spaces and dashes are fine, but a mistyped letter will return nothing, since the check digit at the end only validates against the correct serial.
- 4
Read the milestone timeline
You will see terminal and vessel events from origin gate-in through to empty return, plus the vessel and voyage your box is actually on.
You can also check Cordelia's own portal directly at Cordelia cargo tracking . The advantage of tracking here is keeping several carriers on one screen instead of one portal per line.
About Cordelia
Cordelia Container Shipping Line is a regional operator working the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, East Africa and India–Southeast Asia corridors. It is one of a number of newer lines that grew during the disruption of the early 2020s, when capacity shortages on the main trades created room for operators willing to serve routes the majors were not prioritising.
Beyond that, honest reporting requires admitting how little is verifiable. Cordelia is not covered by Alphaliner’s Top 100, publishes no fleet data, and appears in company registries in two different countries, a Cyprus entity in Nicosia and an Indian entity in Navi Mumbai incorporated in February 2020. Which one is the operating headquarters is not something we could establish, so this page does not claim one.
That is a deliberate choice. Several tracking sites fill the gap with numbers and details that trace back to nothing, including two container prefixes that belong to other companies entirely. For a carrier this thinly documented, an accurate short page is more useful than a padded one.
Cordelia tracking: what to check first
CSYU is the only real prefix. CRDU, which appears on aggregator lists for Cordelia, is registered to Carbon Ridge Inc. in California. CSXU, which another site lists, is not registered to anybody. Neither is a Cordelia container.
Expect a leased box. With a single registered prefix, Cordelia owns very few containers. Most cargo moves in leased equipment carrying a lessor’s code, so a container that is not CSYU is still perfectly likely to be your Cordelia shipment.
The carrier has no dedicated tracking URL. Cordelia’s tracking form sits on its homepage rather than at a stable deep link, so there is no page to bookmark and no way to share a specific result.
As a regional operator, Cordelia usually handles one leg of a longer journey. If your shipment continues beyond the Gulf or Red Sea, the onward leg is carried by a different line and reported through their system, so a timeline that ends at a transshipment port is normally a hand-off rather than a stalled container.
What each Cordelia tracking status means
Ocean carriers share the same terminal and vessel event vocabulary, so these milestones read the same whichever line you are tracking.
Gate in
The container passed through the terminal gate at the origin port and is now in the terminal's custody, waiting to be loaded.
Loaded on vessel
The box was lifted onto the ship. This is the milestone that fixes your shipment to a specific vessel and voyage number.
Vessel departure
The ship has sailed from the origin port. Transit time is measured from here, and it is the point most ETA calculations are anchored to.
Transshipment
The container was discharged at an intermediate hub and will be reloaded onto a second vessel. Most delays originate here rather than at origin.
Discharged
The container came off the ship at the destination port. Free time and demurrage clocks typically start from this event.
Gate out
The container left the terminal on a truck or rail wagon. Once this fires, the terminal's storage charges stop and the haulier's clock starts.
Empty return
The unpacked container was returned to the carrier's nominated depot. This closes the shipment and stops any per-diem detention charges.
Where Cordelia shipments usually move
Cordelia tracking questions
Which container prefix does Cordelia use?
expand_more
CSYU, and only CSYU. It is the sole code registered to Cordelia in the BIC ISO 6346 register. Because the carrier owns very few containers, most boxes on Cordelia bookings are leased and carry a leasing company's prefix.
Is CRDU a Cordelia prefix?
expand_more
No. CRDU is registered to Carbon Ridge, Inc. of Santa Monica, California, an entirely unrelated company. CSXU, also listed for Cordelia by at least one tracking site, is not registered to anyone. Neither will resolve as a Cordelia container.
Where is Cordelia based?
expand_more
We do not state a headquarters, because the sources conflict. There is a Cordelia Container Shipping Line Limited registered in Nicosia, Cyprus and a separate Cordelia Container Shipping Line Pvt Ltd in Navi Mumbai, incorporated in February 2020. We could not establish which is the operating headquarters, so the field is left out rather than guessed.
How large is Cordelia's fleet?
expand_more
Unknown. Cordelia does not appear in the Alphaliner Top 100 and publishes no fleet figures. Any vessel count or TEU capacity you find quoted for Cordelia should be treated with caution. We would rather show nothing than an unverifiable number.
What routes does Cordelia serve?
expand_more
Cordelia runs a set of named services across the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea, East Africa and the India–Southeast Asia corridor. It is a regional operator, so it typically carries one leg of a journey rather than a full origin-to-destination move.
Why is there so little information about Cordelia?
expand_more
It is a small, young carrier that publishes very little and is not covered by the trade-data services that track the larger lines. This page shows only what could be confirmed against a primary source, which for Cordelia is the container prefix and the service network, and not much else.
Does Maalbardaar charge for Cordelia tracking?
expand_more
No. Tracking is included with a free Maalbardaar account, which also lets you keep shipments across several carriers on one dashboard instead of checking each carrier's portal separately.
Every carrier on one dashboard.
Stop checking Cordelia's portal separately from everyone else's. Track your whole book of shipments in one place.
Not shipping with Cordelia?
Track any of these lines from the same dashboard, or use the general tracking page if your carrier is not listed.

CRDU and CSXU are deliberately excluded: CRDU belongs to Carbon Ridge Inc. in California and CSXU is not registered at all. Headquarters, founding year, fleet size and ownership are all omitted: Cordelia is not in the Alphaliner Top 100 and the available sources conflict between a Cyprus entity and an Indian one.
