We sell sea containers for use in the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali) and for international export shipments via the Port of Jebel Ali.

Jebel Ali is not just a port, but the largest artificial port in the world and a key logistics hub connecting the markets of the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Europe.

Local Expertise: Container Terminals and Jebel Ali's Role in Global Logistics

Understanding the region's infrastructure allows us to guarantee seamless equipment delivery and processing:

1. Jebel Ali Port (Operator: DP World)

The largest port in the Middle East and one of the top 10 container ports in the world by throughput.

• Terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3 (one of the most modern terminals in the world with full automation).

• Annual Capacity: Over 15 million TEU.

• Water Depth: Up to 17 meters, allowing it to receive the largest Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCV).

• Equipment: Automated Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, RTG cranes, automated terminal management system (Navis N4).

• Specialization: Transit cargo, re-export, servicing mother vessels traveling from Asia to Europe and back.

2. Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA)

One of the largest free economic zones in the world, located around the port.

• Area: Over 57 square kilometers.

• Number of Companies: Over 8,000 residents, including 150 Fortune Global 500 companies.

• Specialization: Re-export, light industry, logistics, distribution, manufacturing.

• Advantages: 100% foreign ownership, zero corporate tax, full profit repatriation.

• Logistical Connection: Direct access to the port, proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).

3. Jebel Ali's Role in Global Shipping

• Re-export Hub: Approximately 70% of cargo passing through Jebel Ali Port is re-exported. This means goods arrive from Asia (China, India, Southeast Asia), are temporarily stored or repackaged in JAFZA, and then shipped to markets in the Middle East, Africa, and the CIS.

• Connection to Regional Ports: Jebel Ali serves as the mother port for feeder lines heading to Persian Gulf ports (Doha, Bahrain, Kuwait, Dammam), East Africa (Djibouti, Mombasa), and the Indian subcontinent.

• Integration with Land Logistics: Key road routes to Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries pass through the UAE.

Who Benefits from Buying a Container in Jebel Ali?

• Re-exporters and Distributors in JAFZA: Companies importing goods from Asia for subsequent sale in Middle Eastern and African markets. Speed of processing and container cleanliness are critical. We provide IICL and NEW condition containers that undergo strict checks for odors, mold, and residues.

• Construction Companies and Contractors: The UAE continues active infrastructure development. A container is a vandal-proof, fire-safe solution for storing tools, generators, cables, and building materials on sites. CW and IICL conditions withstand extreme heat and sandstorms.

• Logistics Operators and 3PL Providers: Companies offering warehousing and distribution services in JAFZA. Owning a fleet allows control over the supply chain, avoiding dependence on shipping line quotas (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM), and offering clients fixed timelines.

• Auto and Special Equipment Traders: Jebel Ali is one of the largest hubs for exporting used cars to Africa and Asia. 40HC containers are ideal for car stacking, while 20DC containers are perfect for exporting parts and assemblies.

• Food Manufacturers and Suppliers: Storing and exporting food products (including halal products) requires food-grade containers. We provide reefer containers with a valid PTI (Pre-Trip Inspection) report for perishable cargo.

• Oil & Gas and Industrial Companies: Operating in the UAE and neighboring countries' energy sectors requires reliable containers for storing equipment, pipes, valves, and spare parts. We offer reinforced 20DC containers capable of withstanding high point loads.
