Company


We rent and sell dry storage and refrigerated containers

Initially tied to the shipping container repair industry Bestcont SA started soon a profitable business with the container trade on a worldwide scale.
It was during the first years of the new Millennium that Bestcont built up its own new container fleet to provide container lease services. This business proved to be effective and was strongly perceived as an alternative to the straight sale as allowed many users to increase volumes with a contained financial stress.
With a staff of decades of experience related to the shipping and container industry, Bestcont has served more than 250 customers, has a fleet of more than 3.500 shipping containers and trades yearly about 2.000 units through a network of approximately 100 container depots worldwide.
Bestcont current core business is focused on the lease (through several flexible solutions) and sale of dry and refrigerated containers.

They usually come with certified slings and shackles as they are normally moved with cranes.

DELIVERY DEPOTS
All the containers – dry and reefers – new and used – can be released from more than 100 partnered container depots worldwide.

ONE WAY SHIPPING
Bestcont will also take care of the one way delivery (delivery by allowing the use of the unit for the shipping of someone else’s cargo) if necessary and will relieve the customer from the management of this highly time consuming activity. One way shipping is used to deliver the most of standard ISO equipment as it is the most efficient way of moving containers. Containers are loaded with cargo at the point of origin and then used ‘one way’ and returned to the redelivery location. Upon arrival containers are emptied and then returned according to the instructions agreed with the customer.

EMPTY SHIPPING
When required, Bestcont will also arrange the shipping of specialized equipment such as Reefers, Open Tops and other non ISO equipment usually moved ‘empty’. Bestcont will find the best shipping route and at the most competitive rate.
