On 2016-02-25, an anonymous user added (not terribly useful) chinese comments to the Javascript code sample -- and the condition if (con.substr(0, 4) == "HLCU") { sum -= 2; }. This does not match the description of the algorithm above and no equivalent is present in any other code sample. However, I sampled a few container numbers starting with HLCU that I could read on respective containers found via google image search, and indeed the check digit differed by 2 from the expected one calculated by the usual algorithm (e.g. on HLBU... or HLXU... containers; all thse prefixes are for containers operated by Hapag Lloyd), so it seems the HLCU-adjustment is applied in reality.
Does anyone know any documentation on the apparent discrepancy? -- 217.95.168.92 ( talk) 11:13, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
The biggest part of this article is about the conversion algorithm, but it's never introduced. It doesn't appear to be part of the actual number, as depicted here. (The only numerical number with more than 2 digits is the serial number, but that's up to the owner, and unlikely to be connected to any letters.) Is that whole text misplaced? — Sebastian 23:08, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
The groups and subgroups for reefers are confusing. This article lists:
Group code | Description | Size type |
---|---|---|
RC | REEFER CONT.(NO FOOD) | 22R9 |
RS | BUILT-IN GEN. F. POWER SPLY OF REEF | 22R7 |
RT | REEFER CONTAINER | 22R1 |
The Swedish version lists:
Group code | Description | Size type |
---|---|---|
RE | Thermal containers - refrigerated - refrigerated and heated - self powered refrigerated/heated | R0 |
RT | (None) | R1 |
RS | (None) | R2, R3 |
and type codes R4-R9 as spares. The type code table in this article agrees:
Size type | Description |
---|---|
R0 | Integral Reefer - Mechanically refrigerated |
R1 | Integral Reefer - Mechanically refrigerated and heated |
R2 | Integral Reefer - Self-powered mechanically refrigerated |
R3 | Integral Reefer - Self-powered mechanically refrigerated and heated |
So, questions:

Their meaning is mentioned in the article, but nowhere is explained where one would find them on the container. Are they part of the serial number…? -- Rohieb ( talk) 21:20, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
