BIC prefixes were checked one by one on the BIC register (bic-code.org); a SCAC is listed when at least two public sources agree. An empty field means not yet verified, not non-existent. Links go to the carrier’s official website. Stowage.id does not show vessel schedules without an official data partnership.
