Container Re‑Use is an additional service on FreightSmart that enables you to retain and redeploy the same container for the second shipment. It accelerates equipment turnaround, reduces empty repositioning and port storage, and consolidates coordination into a single, digital workflow.
Better Management
Re-using the same box implies fewer document back-and-forths, leaner documentation, and faster gate-in and -out at your facility – so you plan once and keep cargo moving.
Cost Efficiency
By reducing empty miles and unnecessary depot moves, you mitigate key costs including:
Equipment Availability
By reusing the container you already have on site, you reduce the risk of shortages during peak seasons, enhance control and visibility across your supply chain.
Request Container Re‑Use when you book in E‑Spot. We will validate the feasibility and confirm the arrangement with you.
