Used containers at Barcelona: terminals, depots and reuse

Two terminals and a multipurpose one

The port names APM Terminals Barcelona and Hutchison Ports BEST as its container terminals and lists Terminal Bergé as multipurpose. We act for none of them; a lot has to be tied to one, and the first thing we ask is which.

Where the box actually stands

The port says its terminals have a combined berthing line of over 3,000 metres, over 3,500 cooling connections and fourteen rail connections, and that APM Terminals has its own. A box may be at a terminal, at a depot or already on a wagon. Tell us which, and how long it has been there.

Owners and buyers

Owners report one-way, SOC, off-hire, used or damaged containers, with quantity and location. Buyers register a type, a quantity range and how far they can collect. A lot is shared only when it is a concrete match and its owner has agreed.

Reefers and special units

Because the terminals list cooling connections, reefers are a realistic thing to report here. They are taken as requests, and we say honestly whether a buyer or user fits; there is no standing offer for any special unit.
