Full container storage

Our storage areas hold full containers at origin or destination in both bonded and non-bonded conditions. Whether your in-transit cargo is awaiting customs clearances or an unexpected disruption requires slowing your shipment down, you get increased flexibility to manage your supply chain. With a low cost of storage, you can also use our depots to lower inventories at your factory or distribution centres.

Container preparation

Every single container is thoroughly checked and prepared for its cargo, whether it is dry or refrigerated. We offer flexi-tanks, bulkheads, probes, liner solutions, paper/craft paper or cardboard linings for the interior walls of the container for export cargo. Once the containers are cleared, we help properly secure high-value cargo and ensure quality is preserved for the entire journey.
