Feeder Association Line
Feeder Association Line (legal entity Feeder Association Line A/S) is a niche operator headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark. Founded in 2014, the line has spent 12 years building out its container service network and today operates a fleet of 4 vessels under the SCAC code FALS. Total operated capacity stands near 4,000 TEU, placing the carrier among the recognised operators on its core trade lanes. The company holds intermodal equipment under 3 registered ISO 6346 owner prefixes, which appear on every box it owns or long-term leases.
Feeder Association Line is most active on the following corridors: Baltic-feeder. The line operates on a standalone basis and does not share vessel slots with other ocean carriers under a formal global alliance. Direct customer contact is available via +45 86 75 00 00 or the carrier's web portal at feederassociation.com.
Feeder Association Line container prefixes
Every intermodal container carries an ISO 6346 owner code — three letters identifying the owner, plus a single category letter (almost always U for freight containers). These four-letter prefixes are the fastest way to identify which carrier controls a given box. Feeder Association Line has the following registered prefixes recorded in the BIC database. If a container in your possession begins with any of these codes, the box is owned by or leased on long term to Feeder Association Line.
FALUFALSFALN
To track a container under one of these prefixes, contact the carrier directly using the bill-of-lading number or container number. Most ocean carriers expose a public tracking endpoint on their website that accepts either format. Feeder Association Line publishes its tracking page under the main feederassociation.com domain.
Feeder Association Line corridor coverage
Feeder Association Line concentrates its services on Baltic-feeder. Customers on these lanes typically see weekly or twice-weekly sailings depending on season and trade balance. For a current sailing schedule, contact the carrier directly or consult its weekly schedule publication.
How to track a Feeder Association Line container
Tracking a Feeder Association Line container starts with confirming the prefix. Look at the container's left-hand corner casting plate or the painted code on the door — the four-letter ISO 6346 owner code (e.g. FALU) is followed by six numeric digits and a single check digit. If the prefix matches one in the list above, the box is on a Feeder Association Line bill of lading. Visit feederassociation.com, navigate to the carrier's tracking or "track and trace" portal, and paste the full container number. The portal will return current vessel position, the next scheduled port call, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and the most recent equipment events such as gate-in, loaded, discharged and gate-out.
If the carrier portal does not return a result, the most likely causes are: the container has not yet been gate-in at the origin terminal, the bill of lading number is in a different format (check whether the system expects an MBL versus an HBL), or the box is moving on a partner alliance vessel rather than a Feeder Association Line hull. In the last case, the prefix still resolves to Feeder Association Line as equipment owner but the schedule data lives with the operating carrier. Feeder Association Line's customer service can normally cross-reference the booking and route you to the correct alliance partner. Reach the carrier on +45 86 75 00 00 during European business hours.
