Great sea containers at great prices

A used 20-foot container starts from €1,400, and a new one (One-Trip) from €2,400. A 40HC container costs from €1,650 used and from €3,100 new. Prices exclude VAT and delivery. The exact price depends on the container’s condition, year of manufacture, colour and order volume.

“New” on the shipping-container market means One-Trip — a container that has made a single voyage from the factory in Asia to Europe. It is practically unworn, with clean paintwork and no corrosion. A used container has served 8–15 years at sea: it may have dents, rust spots and signs of repair, but it remains watertight and suitable for storage.

These are designations of a container’s technical condition. IICL — the highest used-container category, meeting international leasing standards, with minimal wear. CW (Cargo Worthy) — fit for carrying cargo by sea, with a valid CSC plate. As Is — sold in its current condition; usually suitable for storage, but not for sea transport.

Yes. All containers are located at our terminal in Riga, Kundziņsala, 2nd line 5. Contact us in advance on +371 26 959 689 and we will arrange a viewing time. You can inspect the containers in person, and also receive additional photographs via WhatsApp.

The delivery price depends on the distance and the size of the container. Within Riga and its immediate surroundings, delivery is usually the cheapest, while for the regions the price is calculated by distance. We quote the exact delivery price together with the container offer — send us the address and we will work it out.

A conventional foundation is not needed. A level, stable surface with support at the four corners is enough — concrete blocks, slabs or a gravel base. The main thing is that the container stands level and does not touch the ground around its whole perimeter: this provides ventilation, prevents corrosion forming underneath, and allows the doors to open properly.

20DC external dimensions: 6,058 × 2,438 × 2,591 mm, internal volume approximately 33 m³. 40DC: 12,192 × 2,438 × 2,591 mm, approximately 67 m³. The 40HC (High Cube) is 30 cm taller — 12,192 × 2,438 × 2,896 mm, approximately 76 m³. A High Cube is advantageous if insulation is planned: after fitting-out, a full ceiling height remains.

In most cases, yes. A container arrives ready to use — no construction work, foundations, roofing or several weeks of labour are needed. It can be locked immediately, it withstands the weather, and if necessary it can be moved to another location or resold, retaining much of its value. A wooden shed does not offer this.
