Topaz Energy and Marine

SCAC TPZM · Dubai, UAE · founded 2002 · Independent / non-aligned

Topaz Energy and Marine (legal entity Topaz Energy and Marine Ltd.) is a global mainline operator headquartered in Dubai, UAE. Founded in 2002, the line has spent 24 years building out its container service network and today operates a fleet of 100 vessels under the SCAC code TPZM. Topaz Energy and Marine operates as a non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) and does not own its own container ships, 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.

Topaz Energy and Marine is most active on the following corridors: Offshore, Caspian, Middle East. 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 +971 4 405 5555 or the carrier's web portal at topaz.ae.

Topaz Energy and Marine 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. Topaz Energy and Marine 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 Topaz Energy and Marine.

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. Topaz Energy and Marine publishes its tracking page under the main topaz.ae domain.

For a current sailing schedule, contact the carrier directly or consult its weekly schedule publication.

How to track a Topaz Energy and Marine container

Tracking a Topaz Energy and Marine 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. TPZU) 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 Topaz Energy and Marine bill of lading. Visit topaz.ae, 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 Topaz Energy and Marine hull. In the last case, the prefix still resolves to Topaz Energy and Marine as equipment owner but the schedule data lives with the operating carrier. Topaz Energy and Marine's customer service can normally cross-reference the booking and route you to the correct alliance partner. Reach the carrier on +971 4 405 5555 during European business hours.
