Container resale and sourcing in Sweden

How it works for containers arriving in Sweden

Owners, forwarders and NVOCCs tell us the container type, quantity, Swedish port or city and the date the containers become available. We compare the request with the demand registered by buyers on our side and review every possible match by hand.

Buyers register what they need — type, quantity range, area, one-off or recurring — and are introduced only when a concrete lot fits and both sides are confirmed. Individual lots are not listed; we quote a level for your lot on request.

Areas we cover

Gothenburg is the main gateway we work around today; see the dedicated Gothenburg page for the port context. Stockholm and Malmö have their own pages too, with Stockholm centred on its Norvik container terminal. Other Swedish ports and inland locations are handled on request: submit the location and we tell you honestly whether we can help.

Container types

Dry 20', 40' and 40' high cube containers are the core. Reefers, flat racks, open tops and tanks are considered case by case. Condition can range from one-trip to as-is or damaged, because storage and conversion users accept different grades than cargo operators.

Pickup, depot and inspection in Sweden

Collection from the port or a depot is arranged for each agreed lot, and inspection is organised before handover where condition matters to the deal. We coordinate these steps; the details and any charges are confirmed per deal, not published as a tariff.
