The second-hand container

Posted on 30 November 2023

Are you hesitating between new and used containers?

You are not alone in hesitating between a new container and a used container.

After numerous sea crossings to transport goods across the world and different continents, the second-hand maritime container, also called: “last voyage”, will be a less expensive solution. After many years of handling, it has suffered dents, several scratches, worn joints and floors, Corten sheet repairs in places but remains reusable in a second life and above all waterproof and airtight.

In an era where recycling is becoming more and more the norm, choosing the used shipping container will be a fair and resilient choice. 

We offer you second-hand waterproof containers, this type of container has a lower price and allows you to give a second life to a container that has crossed the seas. This type of container is frequently called a Las trip container.

On this used container, we can find 

  • Traces of corrosion: Corrosion is on the surface and not through, Corten steel only rusts on the surface, stagnant water in the sealed ISO corners trickles down the uprights of the containers  
  • Trace of paint touch-up: Different colors of paint can be applied to repair and touch-up areas
  • Bumps: After multiple handling by machines such as Reach Stacker container handlers and telescopic forklifts, the containers necessarily have several depressions

Our containers can still travel, on request we produce a CSC certificate. They meet current standards:

  • ISO
  • TIR
  • CSC
  • UIC
