BIC-Boxtech

Verified Jul 2026

BIC BoxTech is the container-industry's shared technical database, letting registered container owners look up and manage ISO size/type codes, tare and max-gross weights, and ownership by BIC code, plus manage their own fleet (add/remove containers, set alerts). Access is gated to BIC-registered fleet members: clients exchange a username/password via Basic Auth for a short-lived JWT bearer token, then call the container-lookup and fleet-management endpoints with that token.
