Selling and sourcing containers in Gothenburg

If containers are due to be unloaded in Gothenburg and you would rather not send them back empty, report them before arrival. We look for a local buyer or next use while the containers are still on their way, and match Gothenburg-area buyers with lots that fit.

What we take on in Gothenburg

Owners, forwarders and NVOCCs with one-way, SOC, off-hire, used or damaged containers due at Gothenburg or already standing there. Buyers who want dry containers in lots for trading, export, storage or conversion. Reefers and special equipment by request.

Pre-arrival matching

The earlier we hear about a lot, the more time there is to find a counterparty. Tell us type, quantity and the date the containers become available. We check registered demand for the Gothenburg area and revert with a realistic view, including when we do not see a fit.

How a Gothenburg deal runs

Report the lot; we review it and ask for whatever is missing. If a buyer fits, both sides confirm the terms before any introduction. Condition is checked, and collection from the terminal area or a depot is arranged for the agreed lot.

We show no live availability for Gothenburg; we quote a level for your lot on request.
