SOC Containers
Home > Services
SOC, or Shipper-Owned Container, refers to a type of freight shipping container owned by an individual or business rather than a shipping line or leasing company. These containers are widely used in international trade and logistics for shipping goods across long distances.
We specialize in the sale of both new and used containers, catering to SOC project shipments, static storage needs, and mobile warehousing solutions. SOC containers offer a significant advantage by eliminating demurrage and detention charges, providing greater flexibility and cost efficiency for shippers.
Ownership
SOC (Shipper-Owned Containers) are owned and provided by the shipper or exporter, unlike Carrier-Owned Containers (COC), which belong to shipping lines or leasing companies.
Flexibility
SOC containers offer shippers greater control and flexibility in managing the transport of their goods, allowing them to use their own containers instead of relying on those provided by shipping lines.
Cost Control
By opting for SOC containers, shippers can better manage container-related costs, avoiding leasing fees typically associated with using shipping line or leasing company containers.
Customization
SOC containers can be tailored to meet specific requirements, such as modifications for specialized cargo or compliance with unique regulatory standards
Responsibility for Maintenance
Shippers are responsible for maintaining and repairing SOC containers, ensuring they meet all international standards and regulatory requirements
Booking and Logistics Coordination
Shippers must coordinate with shipping lines for container bookings and logistical arrangements. While the shipping line handles the container’s transport from the port of origin to the destination, the shipper manages its availability and readiness.
Usage in Specific Industries
SOC containers are frequently used in industries requiring specialized solutions, such as those transporting perishable goods, oversized items, or hazardous materials. They can be adapted to meet the unique needs of such cargo
Documentation
Shippers are required to provide comprehensive documentation to the shipping line and authorities, detailing the container’s condition, contents, and compliance with international regulations.
Return Policy
Shipping lines may have specific return policies for SOC containers. Adhering to these policies is essential to avoid additional charges or penalties
