Need a container for export?

If you require a container for shipping, Containers Direct can assist you in navigating the often confusing difference between containers for shipping and containers for storage. Most storage containers for sale at Containers Direct are shipping containers, as we believe they are unrivalled in strength and quality and therefore make the most durable storage containers you can buy. But if you are looking to use a shipping container for its original purpose of shipping, it essential you choose one that still conforms to ISO regulations for seaworthiness. Check the container holds a valid CSC plate which confirms this and allows it on board as container cargo.

Nearly new or quality used

We hold a plentiful supply of these 20ft nearly new containers, ideal for shipping, at all our suppliers depots across the UK, including Portsmouth. Nearly new containers have only made one trip to transport to UK ports, sometimes known as "one-trip containers".

Case study of the month

June 2026

35ftx10ft extra-wide office

Most businesses need office space and the solution isn't always bricks and mortar in an urban location. For example, this case study highlights an office we built for a business in technical construction that operates from farmland in Hampshire. Serving hospitals, laboratories, dentists and vets with medical gas pipelines, an on-site office is an essential part of operating a business. Our standard ModiBox® portable offices are constructed from standard 8ft wide shipping containers, but when our clients require extra-width inside their office we can either use the joined-up containers method, or as seen here, build a brand new 10ft wide container. At 35ft long with a wood cladding and featuring a sloping roof, this is an impressive office!
