Accurate coordinates for the most used location codes in the shipping industry
Get corrected and validated UN/LOCODEs including coordinates without the major omissions and errors in other datasets.
Service description
Most ocean systems use the UN/LOCODE standard to describe ports, terminals, and other supply chain hubs. However, the dataset published by the UN is revised once a year and contains many omissions and manual data-entry errors.
CargoProbe uses an amended, validated and regularly updated dataset for its own systems. We provide our UN/LOCODE database through an API for use by other companies. If you want to plot a UN/LOCODE on a map, this is the best source you can get.
