Container resale and sourcing at the Port of Rotterdam

What owners can report at Rotterdam

One-way, SOC, off-hire, used and damaged containers that are due at Rotterdam or are already at a terminal or depot in the area. Give us the type, quantity and the date the boxes are released; condition, year and CSC status can be added afterwards.

What buyers can register around Rotterdam

Traders, exporters, storage and conversion companies and logistics operators who need containers in the Rotterdam region. Register the type and quantity range once, say whether the need repeats, and we contact you when a reported lot could fit.

We do not show lots to buyers in advance and there is no price list; a lot is shared only when it is a concrete match and its owner has agreed.

Rotterdam and Antwerp, considered together

Our matching compares the distance between Rotterdam and Antwerp, so a request naming Rotterdam can surface an Antwerp lot with the distance stated, rather than being ruled out by the border.

Road, rail and barge handover

Rotterdam has rail and inland barge connections, so how a lot leaves the terminal is a per-deal decision. We coordinate collection and, where the condition matters to the deal, inspection; the choice of mode and any charges are agreed with the parties.
