Buy 20ft and 40ft Shipping Containers in Alexandria, Egypt

We sell shipping containers for domestic use within Egypt and for international export shipments from the ports of Alexandria. This equipment is ideal for building an in-house logistics fleet for agricultural holdings, textile mills, construction companies, and exporters.

Important: We have a strict no-As-Is policy. Our fleet consists exclusively of inspected, watertight, and reliable containers. You will never receive equipment with rotten floors, through-wall corrosion, or broken hardware that could lead to cargo damage or quarantine rejection.

At our yards in Alexandria and El Dekheila, we always have the following in stock:

• 20DC — standard 20-foot dry containers (ideal for grain, lumber, and heavy machinery)

• 40DC — standard 40-foot dry containers

• 20HC / 40HC — high-cube containers with extra capacity (perfect for textiles and ceramics)

• Reefer containers — for citrus, frozen vegetables, and fruit (available upon request)

We close deals in a single business day. Containers are sold in new and used conditions: IICL and CW. We will help you select the grade that perfectly balances your budget and operational needs.

How to Buy a Container in Alexandria

1. Choose. Describe your requirements to your account manager. We will select the right container type and condition, and arrange an inspection (in person or via video call).

2. Contract. We sign a sales agreement locking in the price, the container's BIC code, and the handover terms.

3. Pay. We accept wire transfers in USD via SWIFT.

4. Release. We provide a full set of closing documents. You can pick up the container from the terminal yourself, or we can arrange delivery.

Why Buy Containers from Us in Alexandria?

Direct Access to Alexandria and El Dekheila Terminals

We work directly with container depots in the region's main ports. Alexandria Port is optimal for general cargo and reefers, while El Dekheila specializes in bulk cargo in containers (grain, fertilizers). This guarantees zero middleman markups.

Quality Guarantee: CW and IICL Only

Every container undergoes a rigorous inspection before sale. We check door watertightness (light-tight test), floor integrity, and locking mechanism functionality. You are buying an asset that genuinely protects your cargo.

Adapted to Egypt's Climate

All our containers are built from Corten (weathering) steel, which is highly resistant to high humidity and the salty Mediterranean sea air. For CW condition and above, we pay special attention to inspecting welds and door gaskets.

Logistics Support Across Egypt

Upon request, we can arrange delivery of your purchased container via flatbed truck equipped with a HIAB crane to any location in the country: Alexandria, Cairo, the Nile Delta, the Suez Canal zone, or industrial areas (Borg El Arab, 10th of Ramadan).

Who Benefits from Buying a Container in Alexandria?

Citrus and Agricultural Exporters

Egypt is a top exporter of oranges and frozen vegetables. Owning your own reefers or pristine food-grade dry containers frees you from reliance on shipping lines during peak season and guarantees smooth, delay-free phytosanitary clearance (GOEIC).

Textile and Ceramics Manufacturers

For bulky cargo, we offer 40HC units. IICL condition guarantees the absence of dust, moisture, and foreign odors, which is critical to preventing mold on fabrics or tile breakage during ocean transit.

Logistics Companies and NVOCCs

Building an in-house fleet allows you to offer clients more flexible terms and control the entire shipping cycle, without waiting for major lines (Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd) to release equipment during peak demand.

Construction Companies and Warehouses

A Corten steel shipping container is a vandal-proof, watertight, and fire-safe solution for storing tools, generators, or building materials at sites across Egypt. A CW condition container pays for itself in a single construction cycle.

Estimated Shipping Container Prices in Alexandria

Prices are per unit on FCA terms (terminal/depot in Alexandria or El Dekheila). The Egyptian market is characterized by steady demand, resulting in competitive yet fair prices for quality equipment.
