BIC - Bureau International des Containers Details
Founded under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce in 1933 as a neutral, non-profit, international organization, the BIC's mission is to enable efficiency in container transportation while promoting safety, security, standardization and sustainability.The BIC has published the BIC Code Register since 1970, and was appointed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1972 as the industry's global container prefix registry– a role further endorsed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) through requirements in the Customs Conventions on Containers and the Istanbul Convention. The BIC Code database is consulted thousands of times daily throughout the world.The BIC also serves as the register of the BIC Facility Code, a child code of the UN/Locode based originally on ISO 9897, which is used to identify over 11,000 container facilities in over 160 countries. In November 2020, an API was launched to serve both BIC and SMDG codesIn 2016 the BIC launched the BoxTech Global Container Database, a platform allowing container owners and operators to register their container fleets, making individual container characteristics available to stakeholders throughout the supply chain, and assisting the industry in its shift to digitized processes. Among other uses, BoxTech supports shippers and forwaders in obtaining tare weights for use in 'Method 2' SOLAS VGM declarations. BoxTech can be consulted at bic-boxtech.orgThe BIC also operates the Global ACEP Database (bic-acep.org) under the guidance of the IMO.The BIC continues its active role in the development of sensible standards in the container industry and the promotion of professional dialogue amongst its 2500+ members, standards bodies, governments and other industry organizations. The BIC holds full consultative status as an NGO at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is an official Partner Organization of the World Customs Organization (WCO).
