Selling and sourcing used containers in the Netherlands

How resale works for Dutch arrivals

Report the type, quantity, the Dutch port or city and the date the containers are released. We check the request against demand registered by buyers and revert with a realistic view. If a buyer fits, both sides confirm terms before an introduction is made.

Nothing is published. There is no lot list and no price board, and we do not hold stock of our own.

Rotterdam and the wider Dutch picture

Rotterdam is the Dutch gateway with its own page and sourced port context. Other Dutch locations, including inland barge and rail terminals, are handled on request: name the location in the form and we will say whether we can help there.

Demand we register

Buyers who need containers for trading, export, storage or conversion can register type, quantity range, area and whether the need recurs. Recurring demand is useful because it lets us recognise repeat lots from the same owner instead of treating each as new.

Equipment beyond standard dry boxes

Twenty and forty foot dry containers and forty foot high cubes are the core. Reefers, flat racks, open tops and tanks can be submitted too; they are reviewed case by case, and we do not promise a fit for special equipment.
