Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best container for me?

Although containers come in relatively standard sizes (ex. 20' and 40'), the following descriptions should help with making a decision on condition:

'As Is' - Units are pulled "first off the stack" (i.e. most accessible). Containers are NOT guaranteed to keep water out. The boxes are also subject to damages in addition to exterior rust, dings, and/or dents. 'As Is' containers are good for those looking for a cheap storage solution of items that can withstand the elements.

Wind and Water Tight (WWT) - Containers are GUARANTEED to keep water out. Units will not have any holes. However, equipment will have exterior rust, dings, and dents. WWT containers are perfect for an individual looking for personal storage of anything that needs to stay dry, and aesthetics is not a major concern.

Cargo Worthy (CW) - Units are GUARANTEED to keep water out. In addition, containers will pass survey and receive certification for export. Typically a CW unit is valid for shipping (after certification) for an additional 3-5 years. Although CW, units are still subject to some exterior rust, dings, and dents. CW containers are perfect for personal storage as well as imports/exports.

IICL - Units are GUARANTEED to keep water out. Like a CW container, IICL containers will pass inspection and may be used for shipping good. However, structurally speaking, IICL containers are typically deemed sound enough to utilize for an additional 5-7 years of shipping. Please note, containers are still subject to some exterior rust, as well as minor dings, and dents. IICL boxes are perfect for personal storage as well as imports/exports.

One Trip "New" - Units are GUARANTEED to keep water out. One Trip units are the closest thing to a brand new container as one can find. They have made only one voyage over seas from the factory. Containers are clean, WITHOUT rust, dings, or dents. One Trip containers are ideal for individuals looking for a personal storage solution and cosmetics are a major factor and/or those looking to modify a unit for a project.
