Selling and sourcing used containers at the Port of Antwerp
Containers arrive at Antwerp through several terminals, and some of them end up without a return job. If yours are among them, tell us before they are unloaded and we look for a buyer or a reuse option nearby; if you need containers around Antwerp, register the demand.
What we take on at Antwerp
Used, one-way, SOC, off-hire and damaged containers due at Antwerp or already standing at a terminal or depot in the area, and demand for dry containers in lots for trading, export, storage or conversion. Reefers and special equipment are reviewed case by case.
How a request from Antwerp is handled
You submit type, quantity, location and timing. A person at LATYNEX reviews it, asks for what is missing and compares it with registered demand or supply. If a counterparty fits, both sides confirm terms first; only then is an introduction made.
We do not display lots. There is no live availability for Antwerp on this page or anywhere on the site.
Antwerp and Rotterdam as one catchment
Some buyers can be served from either Antwerp or Rotterdam, so we compare the real distance between the ports instead of stopping at the border. A Dutch request can be offered an Antwerp lot with the distance stated, and the same works in reverse.
Collection and inspection
For an agreed lot we coordinate collection from the terminal area or a depot and, where condition matters to the deal, inspection before handover. Release rules and any charges are confirmed per deal; we do not quote a standard procedure.
