Shipment Management

Managing your OOCL shipments on-line has never been easier when you register with My OOCL Center.   From here you can obtain complete shipment details plus our innovative ‘dashboard’ user-interface enables you to monitor and control all the interactions regarding your shipments easily.  
A sampling of these activities includes:

  • Submit a Service Request to amend shipment information
  • View a To Do list of upcoming due dates for document or cut off submission
  • Upload all required documents into our Shipment Folder  instead of having to remember all those email codes!  Retrieval, sharing and printing of any document during the life of the shipment also eliminates the need to keep a duplicate archive of the document.

We also provide 24/7 automated cargo status information by dialing our toll free customer service number 1-888-388-6625.
