About Dutch Container Trading (DCT) B.V.
Delivering premier shipping, storage, and specialized intermodal containers from the maritime gateway of Rotterdam to clients across the European continent.
Driven by Maritime Heritage & Logistics Precision
Dutch Container Trading (DCT) B.V. is a specialized Dutch enterprise incorporated as a Besloten Vennootschap (B.V.) and headquartered in the world-renowned logistics heartland of the Netherlands. Registered under trade register number 28101685, our statutory mission is clearly defined: "De handel in, alsmede de opslag en verhuur van containers" — the trading, storage, and leasing of intermodal containers.
Operating directly from our depot facility at Bunschotenweg 145 in the Port of Rotterdam, paired with our administrative corporate office at Oostdorperweg 104 in Wassenaar, DCT occupies a vantage point in European freight infrastructure. We connect international shipping lines, industrial manufacturers, construction leaders, and private customers with standardized and customized container solutions.
"We eliminate the intermediaries and inefficiencies in container acquisition, offering transparent pricing, immediate depot inventory, and reliable crane logistics."
Whether fulfilling a single 20ft wind-and-watertight storage unit for an expanding business or dispatching high-volume fleets of 40ft High Cube containers for transcontinental sea freight, Dutch Container Trading guarantees structural integrity, certified safety, and transparent Dutch business ethics.
Strategically Positioned in Rotterdam
The Port of Rotterdam is Europe's largest seaport, handling over 14 million TEU annually. Operating inside this global transit nexus provides DCT with unrivaled logistical advantages:
- Direct access to ocean carrier de-fleeting & newbuild arrivals
- Fully equipped heavy-gantry handling at Bunschotenweg
- Fast highway connections (A15 / A4) for rapid domestic transport
- On-site CSC survey, maintenance, and modification workshops
Our Four Core Pillars of Operation
We deliver end-to-end container services tailored to industrial, commercial, and individual requirements.
Container Trading
Direct sales of brand-new "one-trip" containers and certified used inventory (Cargo Worthy & WWT) in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes, backed by inspection warranties.
Flexible Leasing & Rental
Short-term and long-term rental agreements for construction sites, commercial seasonal overflow, and residential storage, with flexible monthly renewals.
Secure Terminal Storage
Secure, 24/7 monitored depot storage at Bunschotenweg 145 in Rotterdam for both empty and loaded containers awaiting domestic delivery or international vessel loading.
Nationwide Crane Delivery
Specialized logistics fleet equipped with heavy hydraulic crane arms (kraanwagens), ensuring accurate offloading directly onto client-prepared foundations across the Netherlands.
The Principles Behind Our Work
Our reputation is built upon Dutch transparency, technical craftsmanship, and lasting client relationships.
✓ Transparent Business (Afspraak is Afspraak)
In Dutch business culture, a promise made is a promise kept. We quote all costs upfront — including transport, crane handling, and VAT — without unexpected depot handling fees or surcharges.
✓ Rigorous Quality Inspection
Every container leaving our Rotterdam depot undergoes dark-room light testing for watertightness, floorboard assessment, door hinge alignment, and CSC safety verification.
✓ Circular & Sustainable Reuse
By inspecting, refurbishing, and repurposing retired marine containers for stationary storage and modular construction, we promote circular economy principles that minimize raw steel consumption.
Verified Corporate Information
Dutch Container Trading (DCT) B.V. operates with full corporate transparency in compliance with Dutch trade regulations.
