Shipping Container in Singapore

BUY A SHIPPING CONTAINER IN SINGAPORE

Looking for a reliable partner to buy a shipping container in Singapore? At M&P International Freights, we provide a wide range of containers to suit both shipping and storage needs. Whether you are moving goods overseas or looking for creative container solutions, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

TYPES OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS IN SINGAPORE

GENERAL PURPOSE CONTAINER

Also known as a dry container, this is the most commonly used type of shipping container. It is fully enclosed and ideal for general cargo such as boxes, pallets, machinery, or household goods. Businesses often choose this for standard shipping needs because it is durable, versatile, and weather-resistant.

 

General purpose containers come in 20ft and 40ft sizes, with the option of high cube for large or tall cargo going up to 2.7m in height.

FLAT RACK CONTAINER

Flat rack containers are designed without side walls and sometimes even end walls, making them perfect for oversized or heavy cargo. Common uses include transporting vehicles, heavy machinery, and industrial equipment that cannot fit into a regular container. As the walls of flat rack containers can collapse fully, they are easy to store.

OPEN TOP CONTAINER

With a removable roof, open top containers are used for tall or awkwardly shaped cargo such as large pipes, timber, and bulky construction materials. Loading and unloading are easy with cranes, as cargo can be lifted directly from the top.

OPEN SIDE CONTAINER​

An open side container looks similar to a standard shipping container, but features doors along the full side, allowing wider access during loading and unloading. It is often chosen for transporting goods that need careful handling, or for on-site uses like pop-up retail, storage, or modular office spaces.

TANK CONTAINER​

A tank container, or ISO tank, is built specifically for liquid cargo such as chemicals, oils, food-grade liquids, and gases. It is constructed with quality anti-corrosive steel, ensuring secure handling and transport of hazardous or perishable liquids.

REFRIGERATED CONTAINER (REEFER CONTAINER)​

A reefer container is temperature-controlled, making it essential for perishable goods like fresh produce, seafood, meat, pharmaceuticals, and dairy products. Businesses in the food and medical industries rely on reefer containers to keep products fresh throughout long-distance transport.

At M&P International Freights, we offer both 20ft and 40ft shipping containers for sale in Singapore. These are the standard industry sizes and are suitable for international shipping and on-site use.

20FT SHIPPING CONTAINER

Compact yet highly efficient, the 20ft container is ideal for smaller shipments, storage facilities, or personal use. Many businesses choose this option for cost-effective transportation when cargo volume does not justify a larger container.

40FT SHIPPING CONTAINER

40ft containers offer double the storage capacity, making them perfect for bulk shipments and larger goods. Companies with high export volumes or those needing long-term storage space often prefer this option for its efficiency and value.

We understand that different customers have different needs. That is why we provide both new and used containers, each with its own benefits. Regardless of condition, every container we supply is thoroughly inspected for safety and quality assurance, so you can have peace of mind knowing it is fit for use.

USED SHIPPING CONTAINERS

A cost-effective choice, used shipping containers are still sturdy and reliable for both shipping and storage. At M&P International Freights, every used container is carefully inspected before being repurposed to ensure durability and safety. While they may show natural signs of wear such as scratches, dents, or minor rust, these containers remain structurally sound and fully functional.

 

Choosing a used container not only helps you save on costs but also supports sustainability efforts by reducing waste and giving containers a second life. This makes them an excellent option for customers seeking budget-friendly, eco-conscious, or repurposed solutions, such as construction site storage, event spaces, or modified container projects.

NEW SHIPPING CONTAINERS

If you want a container in pristine condition with maximum lifespan, a new container is the right choice. Businesses that transport sensitive goods or require containers for long-term, high-frequency use will benefit most from this option.

 

Being brand new, these containers also require less maintenance compared to used ones, which can translate into significant cost savings over time. For companies that rely on containers regularly, investing in new units ensures reliability and reduces upkeep costs in the long run.

Yes, shipping containers are not just for cargo. They can be modified into temporary offices, site shelters, storage units, or even living spaces. With the help of an external vendor, they can also be fitted with air-conditioning, lighting, toilets, and other features to meet your needs.

Yes! If you only need a container for short-term or seasonal use, renting can be a more practical and cost-effective option. M&P International Freights offers container rental services in Singapore, giving you flexibility without the commitment of a purchase.

Yes, we do. Beyond selling and renting containers, we also offer comprehensive container shipping solutions. Whether you need LCL (Less-than-Container Load), FCL (Full Container Load), or trucking services, our experts will ensure your cargo reaches its destination safely and efficiently.
