Sale of 20ft and 40ft Shipping Containers in Keelung (Taiwan)

About the Location: Keelung – The Main Maritime Gateway of Northern Taiwan and the "Rainy City"

Keelung (Jilong) is the largest port city in northern Taiwan and the island's second-largest commercial port after Kaohsiung. The city plays a critical role in the region's logistics infrastructure, serving not only the densely populated northern cluster (including Taipei and New Taipei) but also acting as a key hub for cabotage and international transit shipments. Keelung's industrial profile is defined by maritime logistics, shipbuilding and repair, the fishing industry, and a growing cruise tourism sector.

Fun fact: Keelung is officially known as Taiwan's "Rainy City" due to record-breaking precipitation caused by the northeast monsoon. This unique climatic feature makes absolute watertightness and corrosion resistance of shipping containers not just an advantage, but a strict mandatory requirement for any business operating in this region.

Important: We Strictly Do Not Deal with "As-Is" Condition Containers

In conditions of extreme humidity, frequent heavy downpours, and the aggressive salty air of the East China Sea, using worn-out equipment is unacceptable. Our fleet consists only of inspected, watertight, and reliable containers. You will never receive equipment with through-corrosion, deformed doors, or damaged flooring, which is critical for preserving cargo quality in Keelung's climate.

Always Available at Our Sites and Partner Terminals in Keelung:

• 20DC — Standard 20-foot containers (optimal for heavy equipment, shipbuilding components, and compact storage)

• 40DC — Standard 40-foot containers

• 20HC / 40HC — High Cube containers (ideal for electronics, consumer goods, and bulky cargo)

How to Buy a Container in Keelung?

1. Selection: Describe your task to the manager (local storage, export, buffer zone in the port). We will select the appropriate type and condition.

4. Pickup: You collect the container from the agreed terminal in Keelung on FCA (pickup) terms, or coordinate its handover directly to your logistics partner.

Local Expertise: Keelung Terminals and Container Arrival Routes

Understanding the port's infrastructure allows us to guarantee transaction transparency and stable equipment availability:

1. Keelung Container Terminals

We work directly with operators of key regional logistics hubs, ensuring convenient conditions for inspection and pickup:

• West 2 Container Terminal: One of the port's main modern hubs, equipped with advanced cranes and cargo handling systems. We have established interaction protocols for the swift removal of equipment.

• West 3 Container Terminal: A new, modernized terminal expanding the port's capacity to receive large-tonnage vessels and increasing overall throughput.

• Private Inland Depots in Keelung Logistics Zones: Specialized sites near port infrastructure where we conduct pre-sale inspections, allowing clients to pick up equipment without the queues characteristic of the main berths.

2. Equipment Arrival Routes

The container fleet in Keelung is formed through several logistics flows:

• Direct deep-sea lines: Regular services with ports in North America, Europe, and major Southeast Asian hubs.

• Cabotage and regional feeder lines: Active movement of containers between Keelung, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, as well as short sea voyages to ports in Japan (Osaka, Kobe) and mainland China (Xiamen, Fuzhou).

• Return of empties from international voyages: Empty containers that have completed their import cycle in Northern Taiwan are returned to depot zones, where we conduct strict inspections and select units in IICL and CW conditions.

Who Benefits from Buying a Container in Keelung: Industry Scenarios

1. Maritime Logistics and Freight Forwarding: Keelung is a key transit hub. To create buffer storage zones and consolidate cargo before shipment, we provide reliable containers, allowing logistics companies to avoid high port storage fees (demurrage) at West 2 and West 3 terminals.

2. Fishing Industry and Seafood Processing: Keelung Fishing Port is one of the largest in Taiwan. For storing fishing nets, processing equipment, and temporary seafood storage, we provide refrigerated containers with a valid PTI (Pre-Trip Inspection) report or dry food-grade containers (IICL/NEW conditions), guaranteeing the absence of foreign odors and contamination.

3. Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering: The region actively services and repairs commercial and fishing fleets. Storing heavy spare parts, hydraulic equipment, welding machines, and tools at shipyards requires vandal-resistant containers with reinforced flooring, resistant to aggressive saline environments.

4. FMCG and E-commerce Distributors: Northern Taiwan represents a massive consumer market. Purchasing your own containers allows retailers and distributors to quickly remove customs-cleared cargo from the terminal and place it in secure areas within Keelung's logistics parks, optimizing supply chains to Taipei.

5. Infrastructure and Construction Projects: Amid constant modernization of Keelung's port infrastructure and coastal zone development, a container is a fire-safe and mobile solution for storing expensive materials and generators on-site without the need for complex capital construction permits.
