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.

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

December 2025

16ft x 10ft packaged plant room - CS98937

This bespoke new build unit was designed as a packaged plant room for Welburn Hall School in North Yorkshire, a county council maintained special school. The beautiful building that's now home to the school dates back to the 17th century and is set in 14 acres of landscaped gardens. As a Grade 11 listed building any alterations require consent to maintain the historical and architectural value. In this context the replacement to the building's existing systems to provide light, power, hot water and heating to the building is best served by an external, plant room in the school grounds.
