Sale of 20 and 40-Foot Sea Containers in Ashdod (Israel) with Delivery

We sell sea containers for use within Israel (Ashdod, the industrial zone, the Shefela and Negev regions) and for export-import operations via the Port of Ashdod.

Ashdod is a strategic logistics and industrial center in Israel, handling a significant portion of the country's consumer, automotive, and agricultural cargo. Purchasing a container outright in this region allows businesses to avoid high port storage fees, minimize customs delay risks, and obtain mobile, secure warehouse space.

Important: We fundamentally do not work with "As-Is" condition. Our fleet consists exclusively of inspected, watertight, and reliable containers. You will not receive equipment with deformed doors, through-corrosion, or damaged flooring that fails to meet Israel's strict safety and logistics standards.

At our partner yards in Ashdod and adjacent logistics zones, we always have the following in stock:

• 20’ DC: Standard twenty-foot containers (ideal for auto parts, industrial equipment, and compact storage).

• 40’ DC: Standard forty-foot containers.

• 20’ HC / 40’ HC: High-capacity High Cube containers (optimal for textiles, electronics, and bulky cargo).

• Reefer containers: For agricultural exports and pharmaceuticals (available upon request).

Deals are processed within 1 working day. Containers are sold in NEW, IICL, or CW condition.

Local Expertise: Ashdod Container Terminals and Logistics Specifics in Israel

Understanding the infrastructure of the Port of Ashdod is critical for optimizing your logistics expenses:

1. New South Port (South Port, Operator: SIPG)

This is a modern, fully automated terminal capable of receiving the world's largest container vessels. It handles the main flow of imported containerized cargo. Owning your own container allows you to remove the cargo from this terminal on the day of customs clearance, avoiding high port storage fees, which are among the highest in the region.

2. North Port and Ro-Ro Operations

The traditional part of the port, specializing in bulk cargo and vehicle imports. Containers purchased from us are often used by companies operating in this zone to store tires, auto parts, and pre-delivery inspection (PDI) equipment, as renting stationary warehouses in immediate proximity to the port is extremely limited and expensive.

3. Specifics of Israeli Customs and Transport Logistics

Israel imposes heightened security requirements on cargo. All trucks entering and exiting the port undergo strict inspections (including X-ray scanning). Having your own clean and serviceable container (IICL or NEW condition) significantly speeds up the inspection process, as it eliminates suspicions of concealed cargo due to dilapidated equipment or foreign odors.

4. Ashdod Industrial Zone and Shefela Region

We deliver not only to the port but also to enterprises in the Ashdod industrial zone, as well as logistics parks in the cities of Gedera, Kiryat Gat, and Ashkelon, ensuring seamless integration of the container into your production chain.

Who Benefits from Buying a Container in Ashdod: Industry Scenarios

Auto Importers and Auto Parts Distributors

Ashdod is the main gateway for vehicle imports to Israel. Dealerships and logistics companies use 40HC containers as mobile PDI centers or secure warehouses for tires, batteries, and spare parts to avoid paying premium rates for warehouse space in the port zone.

Agricultural Exporters (Shefela and Negev Regions)

Israel exports citrus fruits, avocados, peppers, and flowers via the Port of Ashdod. Temporary storage of packaging, inventory, or the cargo itself prior to loading requires food-grade standard containers. We supply only clean containers (IICL/NEW) with no traces of previous chemical cargoes, which is a mandatory requirement for phytosanitary control.

Construction and Infrastructure Companies

Due to the active expansion of the Port of Ashdod, construction of new residential neighborhoods, and highways (e.g., Highway 4 expansion), contractors need mobile, vandal-proof, and fire-safe storage for expensive tools, generators, and cables directly on-site, without the need to obtain permits for capital construction.

3PL Providers and Warehouse Logistics Operators

Companies providing cross-docking services. Owning a fleet of containers allows you to create buffer zones for imported goods while awaiting distribution to retail networks, and to flexibly scale space depending on seasonality (e.g., before holidays).

Plastic and Chemical Product Manufacturers

The Ashdod industrial zone is densely populated with chemical and processing enterprises. Storing raw materials or finished products requires sealed containers resistant to aggressive environments. CW condition containers or better provide the necessary isolation and safety.

Approximate Cost of Sea Containers in Ashdod

Prices are quoted per unit on FCA terms (terminal or warehouse in Ashdod). The Israeli market is characterized by high demand for warehouse space, making container purchase a highly liquid investment.
