ABOUT THE COMPANY

A Tema-based container depot you can call directly.

No call centers, no middlemen chains. Container Trading Hub is a licensed cargo and freight company operating out of Tema, dealing directly in container trade, logistics coordination, and haulage support.

Since 2018, Container Trading Hub has built a depot inventory of dry van and refrigerated (reefer) containers ready for sale or repurposing — sourced from major shipping lines and reconditioned for resale across Ghana.

Whether you're buying a single 20ft container for storage, fitting out a 40HC for site offices, or sourcing reefers for cold-chain logistics, the team works directly from stock at the depot — what you see is what's available.

What sets the depot apart:

— Containers viewed and verified on-site before sale, not sold sight-unseen.
— Mixed inventory: standard dry vans, high-cube, and Carrier/Triton reefer units.
— Haulage support arranged for delivery once a container is purchased.
— Verified WhatsApp Business account for direct buyer communication.

The business started as a two-man operation moving containers out of Tema for a handful of importers, and grew on word of mouth — most of our current clients came through a referral from another client, not advertising. That's still how we'd rather grow.

HOW A PURCHASE ACTUALLY WORKS

From phone call to container on your site.

No online checkout, no fixed catalog price — every sale is confirmed against what's physically on the ground that week.

  1. Call or WhatsApp

    Tell us the size and condition you need

    20ft or 40ft, dry van or reefer, new-ish or working-grade. We check what's actually sitting at Watch Depot, Multipurpose Terminals, HBX or TCT that week — stock moves fast, so we don't quote from memory.

  2. Inspection

    You — or someone you trust — checks the unit

    We'll walk you (or your site manager) through the container's tare weight, max gross, door seals and floor condition before any money changes hands. If you can't come in person, we send photos of the actual unit, not stock images.

  3. Payment

    Settled through OmniBSIC or Zenith Bank

    Bank transfer to either partner bank, receipt issued on confirmation. We don't take full payment before you've seen the unit.

  4. Haulage

    We arrange the truck

    Flatbed or crane-mounted truck, depending on where the container is going and what's accessible on-site. Delivery is scheduled once the depot releases the unit — we'll give you a realistic window, not a same-day promise we can't keep.

WHAT WE DO

Three services, one depot.

Container Trading Hub is built around the full lifecycle of a container's second life — from sale to delivery.

01 / TRADE

Container Sales

Dry van and reefer containers sold directly from depot stock in Tema — 20GP, 40HC, and specialty units including CWA1 and CWA2 classes.

02 / LOGISTICS

Logistics Coordination

Cargo and freight handling support for businesses moving goods through Tema, with depot-level coordination on container availability and turnaround.

03 / HAULAGE

Haulage Support

Once a container is purchased, haulage is arranged to get it from the depot to your site — no need to source transport separately.

DEPOT STOCK

Current inventory categories.

Stock rotates with availability — call or message ahead to confirm what's on the ground before visiting the depot.

DEPOT

All inventory is stored and viewable in Tema — buyers are welcome to inspect units on-site before purchase.

DEPOT NETWORK

We're not limited to one yard.

QUESTIONS WE GET A LOT

Before you call, here's what people usually ask.

Can I inspect a container before paying?
Yes — we'd rather you did. Most buyers come to the depot, or send a site manager, to check the unit's structure, seals and floor before any payment is made. We don't ask for full payment sight-unseen.
Do you only sell from one depot?
No. Stock moves between Watch Depot, Multipurpose Terminals, HBX and TCT depending on what's been released that week. When you call, we check current availability rather than quoting from a fixed list.
What condition are the containers in?
Mixed — used dry vans in working condition through to higher-grade Cargo Worthy (CW) units. We'll tell you the grade and any visible rust, dents or floor issues upfront; we don't sell a unit as better condition than it is.
Can you deliver outside Tema?
Yes, using our own flatbed trailers. Delivery cost depends on distance and site access — let us know the drop-off location and we'll quote haulage separately from the container price.
How do I pay?
Bank transfer through OmniBSIC or Zenith Bank. We issue a receipt once payment clears and before the container leaves the depot.
