Sale Buy Back
Our buy back program helps international logistics companies and contracting firms who are purchasing containers for special project shipments, often to developing countries with no known resale market. When they are finally done discharging their cargos, they would like to have an advance plan to dispose of the container. That's where TRADER steps in. In those situations TRADER can generally offer a "buy back" solution. While we may have to factor in the cost of moving the container to its next viable resale market, we can still offer a solution that takes the headache out of managing the disposal. This solution also eliminates the prospect of expensive demurrage charges associated with using carrier-owned containers.

One-Way Lease
TRADER Containers is known for consistent cargo container supply in the world's major port locations, as well as some of the lesser-known, hard to find places. We can leverage our global supply strength to provide customers with the unique benefits of a point-to-point "One-Way lease."
One-Way leases are a great solution to defray the high logistics costs of returning a container empty to a distant location, or to avoid expensive demurrage costs associated with storing cargo at any point in the logistics chain. Additional benefits include:
- Quality used containers provided in cargo- worthy condition
- Free use terms up to 60 days to allow ample time to complete delivery to your consignee
- First $100 free in damage protection, to cargo- worthy condition when returning the container.

- Short term rental commitment with low daily rental rates
- Flexible pick up locations to assist them with spot shortages in container supply
- Flexible global off hire locations to assist with trade imbalances.
