New Containers

New Containers also are often called One-Trip, One-Way or One-Use. These containers were built overseas and made a one-way move with cargo from the manufacturer to the United States.

Used Containers

Used Containers have been used to move a wide variety of products all over the world and are now retired from the steamship lines and leasing companies. These containers are made from strong Corten Steel and come in different conditions as noted below.

• IICL Containers have strict repair standards for used containers from the Institute of International Container Lessors. IICL does not define the age of a container rather that the repairs made to the container have passed the strictest criterion out there.
• Cargo Worthy Containers are typically 10-15 years of age, water/wind tight, and structurally sound for international cargo transport under CSC criterions and often include a CSC plate. Aesthetically, cargo worthy containers all have some exterior rust, dings, dents & welded patches and the floors will solid marine grade laminated plywood. The quality of the container also makes it an ideal option for people looking for a ground-level, portable storage container.
• Water/Wind Tight Containers are typically 10-20 years of age and retired from the steamship lines. The exterior condition of the containers can have extensive rust, dings, dents & welded patches. Many people use these containers for ground-level storage as they can’t be used for international cargo transport or ocean export.
