Built for business buyers
How sourcing works
- You register demand once — recurring buyers tell us the monthly volume.
- We compare it with lots reported by owners, forwarders and NVOCCs before they arrive.
- A person reviews every match; you are introduced only when a concrete lot fits and both sides confirm.
- Condition is checked before you commit; collection or delivery is coordinated for the agreed lot.
You deal with one contact: LATYNEX finds the lot and quotes an indicative ex-depot level for it. It is not built for a single container for private use.
Reference levels
Indicative reference levels
| Container | Grade | Depot area | Indicative level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20' standard | Cargo-worthy (CW) | Rotterdam | EUR 580 |
| 40' high cube | Cargo-worthy (CW) | Gdańsk | USD 1,600 |
These are indicative references, not offers and not a stock list. They do not mean that containers are available at these places or at these levels. Each level is per unit, ex-depot (FOT), excluding VAT and transport, for the type, grade and place shown only, and was last checked on 30 October 2026. The price for your lot depends on its exact type, grade, quantity, location and date, and is confirmed per request.
Other ports, grades and quantities: send your requirement and we reply with an indicative level for it, if we can find a matching lot.
Who sources through us
Businesses with a defined need. End users who need containers for storage, a site or a conversion. Project buyers who need a series of identical units. Recurring buyers who need a monthly volume in one area. And traders and resellers who take lots to place on. The sourcing process is the same for all of them; what differs is the grade, the quantity and the timing you specify.
You deal with one contact: LATYNEX finds a lot to your specification and quotes an indicative ex-depot level for it. It is built for professional buyers who buy in lots; for one-off needs of a few units we say honestly whether we can help.
What makes a requirement easy to serve
A quantity range, the area you can collect from or have the units delivered to, the grades you accept and a timing window. Tell us if you can take units as they arrive, because pre-arrival lots are easier to place when the buyer can commit before unloading.
A target price is optional. It does not bind you, and it helps us tell you early whether a requirement is realistic.
A defined use or a standing requirement?
If you know what the containers are for, the guides below explain which size and grade to ask for. If you have a defined requirement or a monthly programme, give a sourcing mandate instead of registering one request at a time: we search against it and bring lots that fit.
Traders and resellers
If you take containers by the lot to re-sell or export, a lot is interesting when quantity, port, grade and timing fit what you can move. Say whether you can take units before they are unloaded; the same form applies.
Where to go for your need
Pick the route that matches your need
- Sourcing mandate: a defined requirement or monthly volume that we search against.
- Storage and site use: farms, yards and warehouses that need dry, lockable space.
- Construction and industrial: uniform units for site stores, tool rooms and temporary capacity.
- Conversion and projects: offices, workshops and modular builds that start from a sound shell.
Terms in plain words
What the container terms mean
Definitions vary by contract; describe your containers as accurately as you can.
- 20DC / 40DC / 40HC
- 20' or 40' dry container; HC (high cube) is the 40' unit about 30 cm taller than standard.
- One-trip
- Unused or used for a single loaded voyage, usually the best condition after new.
- CW (cargo-worthy)
- Sound enough to carry cargo on a regular basis; usually older, with normal wear.
- WWT (wind & watertight)
- Sound structure for storage or site use, not meant for sea carriage.
- SOC
- Shipper-owned container: it belongs to the shipper or its lessor, not to the carrier.
- One-way
- Positioned for a single leg and not necessarily expected back, so it may need a local buyer.
