Shipping Container Storage - Frequently Asked Questions
How secure is shipping container storage and what security measures are in place?
Container storage sites typically provide 24/7 CCTV, perimeter fencing, controlled access, site lighting and secure padlocks or bolt seals. These measures protect inventory while containers are in the depot.
Can I store hazardous or perishable goods in container storage?
Hazardous goods usually require specialist facilities. Perishable goods need to be stored in temperature-controlled units and plugged into an electric supply in order to maintain temperature requirements. Standard dry container storage is suitable for non‑hazardous, non‑perishable cargo.
How long can I store a container and are there minimum contract periods?
Many depots offer flexible short‑term and long‑term options; you can often store a container for days, weeks or months without lengthy contracts. Check the depot’s terms for minimum stays, peak season rules and notice periods for collection. Contact Origin today to learn more about our shipping container storage services.
What are the typical costs for container storage and how are they charged?
Storage costs are commonly charged per container per day or per week, with additional handling or access fees for deliveries or returns. Extra charges may apply for overweight containers, extended stays (demurrage) or special handling requests.
Can I access my stored container and how quickly can it be returned to my site?
Most storage depots allow scheduled access with prior notice and can arrange transport to return containers to your site within agreed lead times. Collection speed depends on depot location, booking slots and transport availability.
We provide a highly efficient and bespoke service to clients from all industries.
