Shipping lines, leasing companies, owners and traders: send us your available equipment. We review every offer and respond with a clear commercial position.
Submit your equipment →SOC container solutions
Equipment sourcing, availability and coordination of shipper-owned containers for freight forwarders and NVOCCs, planned around your lane and your disposition needs.
Make a SOC inquiry →SOC containers, handled by people who do this every day
Shipper-owned containers can give forwarders more flexibility in equipment sourcing, routing and destination planning, when they fit the cargo and the lane. We help you evaluate whether SOC makes sense, find the equipment and coordinate the move.
- Equipment sourcing and availability for your POL and POD
- Purchase, supply or full coordination: you choose the scope
- Planning for what happens to the container after discharge
