Used containers at Malmö: a trimodal terminal with room to store
Copenhagen Malmö Port ties the Malmö container operation to Norra Hamnen and describes it as trimodal: sea, rail and road meet on a large site. The same page gives modest figures for the water alongside and the crane, so this is a place for smaller vessels and for equipment that waits on land, which shapes the questions we ask.
Land, rail and a shallow quay
The port lists two quays with 9.0 m of water, a maximum vessel length of 300 m, one gantry crane and reachstackers, on a terminal area of 253,000 m2 with more land held for expansion. Two separate 850 m rail tracks connect the terminal. We do not represent the port; we use these facts to ask sensible things, such as whether a lot is arriving by sea at all or already stands on land.
Owners with equipment around Malmö
Report one-way, SOC, off-hire, used or damaged containers, the quantity, and where they stand or when they are released. Because the site has space, boxes may be waiting rather than about to arrive, and how long they have stood is worth telling us. Ownership or lease terms decide whether a local sale is allowed; you confirm that.
Buyers in southern Sweden
Storage users, builders of conversions and traders register a container type, a quantity range and how far they can collect. Since Gothenburg is a larger container port, a lot there may fit a southern buyer better than anything at Malmö, and the reviewer sees the real distance in that case.
Across the sound
Copenhagen lies on the other side of the Øresund and belongs to the same port company. A request naming Malmö can be compared with one naming Copenhagen by actual distance, and we state that distance rather than treating the border as a wall.
