SMLM Tracking
SMLM Tracking refers to tracking containerized cargo shipped with SM Line, a global ocean carrier serving major trade lanes between South Korea, China, the United States, Canada, and other international ports. The code SMLM is the official SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) used to identify SM Line shipments in global logistics systems and tracking tools.
With SMLM Tracking, shippers, consignees, and freight forwarders can monitor containers in real time, see port events, and stay updated on vessel departures, arrivals, and transshipment movements across SM Line’s network.

Understanding Common SMLM Tracking Statuses
When you use SMLM Tracking, you’ll see different tracking events that describe where your cargo is in the shipping journey. Typical statuses include:
- Booked / Received for Shipment – Your booking is confirmed with SM Line and the cargo is registered in the carrier’s system, though it may not be loaded yet.
- Loaded on Vessel – The container has been loaded on the SM Line vessel at the origin port.
- In Transit / At Sea – Your cargo is currently sailing between ports aboard an SM Line vessel.
- Transshipment / At Transshipment Port – The container is being transferred from one vessel to another at an intermediate hub.
- Discharged at Destination Port – The container has been unloaded from the vessel at the destination port and is awaiting customs clearance or further inland movement.
- Gate Out / Delivered – The container has left the terminal (gate out) or has been delivered to the final consignee, depending on the Incoterms and arrangement.
- Exception / On Hold / Delay – There is an issue such as port congestion, documentation problems, customs holds, or schedule changes that may delay the shipment.
Understanding these status messages helps you interpret SMLM Cargo Tracking updates and foresee any potential impact on your supply chain.

What If My SMLM Cargo Is Delayed?
Delays in SMLM Tracking can occur due to port congestion, bad weather, vessel schedule changes, customs inspections, or transshipment complications. If your status has shown “Delay,” “On Hold,” or no movement for longer than expected, contact SM Line directly:
- Call +82-2-3770-6999 (head office) or +1 480-588-3200 (U.S. branch) with your B/L or container number for detailed updates.
The customer service team can check internal logs, port messages, and vessel updates to explain the cause of the delay and expected new timelines.
Can I Change The Delivery Address or Final Destination?
With ocean freight, changing the final delivery point or consignee details after booking can be complex and may involve additional costs or documentation. However, in many cases it is still possible, especially if the cargo has not yet been discharged or gated out.
If you need to adjust delivery-related details for a shipment under SMLM Tracking, contact SM Line as early as possible:
- Phone: +82-2-3770-6999 or +1 480-588-3200
Provide your B/L number, current destination, and the requested change. The carrier (often in coordination with your freight forwarder) will advise what is feasible and whether any extra fees or revised documents are required.
Understanding the SMLM Tracking Number Format
SM Line typically issues a B/L number that can be used for SMLM Tracking. According to several tracking tools, an SM Line B/L number often consists of the prefix “SMLM” followed by 8 to 12 alphanumeric characters.
Examples of format rules:
- Full B/L pattern: SMLMXXXXXXXX (prefix + 8–12 characters)
- Some tools instruct you to discard the “SMLM” prefix and enter only the 8–12-character B/L body, while others accept the full code.
For best results when using SMLM Container Tracking:
- Copy the B/L or container number exactly as it appears in your documents.
- If a tool specifies “enter B/L without the SMLM prefix,” follow that instruction.
- Double-check for typing errors, missing digits, or swapped characters.
Correct number entry is essential to retrieve accurate and up-to-date cargo information.
