Container xChange helps forwarders get access to a 3rd party container equipment in more than 2500 locations. More than 300 companies such as Kuehne+Nagel, Seaco or Sarjak use our neutral online platform to gain market transparency, avoid demurrage & detention charges and increase their flexibility. Covering the entire transaction process from finding new partners to tracking containers and managing payments, Container xChange makes using 3rd party equipment almost as easy as booking a hotel.
| SOC Container | COC Container |
| You avoid unexpected demurrage and detention costs. Seeing you are not obligated to move and/or return the containers to and from the carrier within a certain time frame. | Once you return equipment at the terminal, you don’t have to worry about the containers anymore. |
| You can source containers on your own. That is essential for locations where carriers are unable or unwilling to provide boxes or only offer them at very high rates. | Using COCs can yield freight rate discounts (if moved from a container surplus to a container deficit location). |
| You can choose specifically which containers you need. As well as in which condition for which period of time you need them. This includes whether to buy or simply lease the container depending on the current need. | It is super simple to use COCs! You pay the carrier a given „all in“ rate to move your freight. |
