Shipping Container Leasing What This Actually Means To You
Container leasing involves entering into a working agreement with a container supplier. The supplier agrees
to deliver a minimum number of containers to the client, with the understanding that the containers will be
used for a specified time and at a rate documented within the terms of the lease agreement.
Both the supplier and the customer will also agree to other terms and conditions required by applicable
laws, and any other negotiations made between the two entities.
One of the main benefits to container leasing is the flexibility that is often built into the lease agreement.
Often, the supplier and client agree upon a minimum number of containers to be in the possession of the
client for the duration of the lease. However, additional containers can be requested and delivered for use
when and as the customer needs them.
It is not unusual for discount leasing fees to be applied to those extra containers. As a result, the customer
only keeps what is needed on hand, but has immediate access to additional containers with only minimal
expense involved.

benefits.
Companies also find that a container leasing arrangement helps to eliminate the need for upkeep on the
containers themselves. While customers are expected to take reasonable care of the containers, most
container leasing companies realize that normal use takes place.
Customers can turn in older containers for newer ones from time to time, often without any changes to the
terms of the leasing agreement. Sell offs from leasing companies is a great source of second hand
