Shipping container market, United States
MG-Atlantic supplies shipping containers across the United States, for sale (new, used and refurbished) and for leasing (long-term and SOC one-way). Inventory is positioned at all four structural US container clusters: the Gulf Coast (Houston), the East Coast (Savannah, Charleston, Baltimore, New York/New Jersey), the West Coast (Los Angeles, Long Beach, Tacoma, Seattle) and the major inland intermodal hubs (Dallas, Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver). Most US enquiries receive a written quote within one business day.
Gulf Coast, Houston and the petrochemical export market
The Port of Houston is the structural anchor of the US Gulf container market and the #1 US port for foreign tonnage. Outbound 40HC capacity stays tight through petrochemical export season; inbound CW and refurbished units rotate quickly into Texas storage and oilfield-services demand. SOC one-way leasing to LATAM, the Caribbean, West Africa and the Mediterranean remains a recurring commercial lane.
East Coast, Savannah, Charleston, Baltimore, NY/NJ
Port of Savannah (Garden City) is the largest single-terminal container facility in the United States and the #1 East-Coast container port for export trade. Charleston, Baltimore and the NY/NJ complex add deep CW and 1-trip stock for the South-East, Mid-Atlantic and North-East corridors, with strong on-dock rail connectivity to Atlanta and Memphis.
West Coast, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Tacoma, Seattle
Los Angeles and Long Beach combined remain the largest US container gateway by TEU, dominating Trans-Pacific import flows. The market structurally absorbs deep inbound 40HC and 1-trip stock; CW units rotate fast into the Inland Empire warehousing footprint. Tacoma and Seattle anchor the Pacific North-West with strong rail connectivity to Chicago and Denver.
Inland hubs, Dallas, Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver
Inland markets are rail-fed rather than vessel-fed: availability is tied to BNSF, Union Pacific, NS and CSX ramp velocity. Dallas–Fort Worth and Memphis combine deep distribution-centre demand with national rail reach; Chicago is the deepest inland container market in North America; Atlanta is the South-East distribution anchor; Denver is the Rocky Mountain commercial gateway. Used 20DC stock typically rotates faster than 40HC across these markets.
Buying & leasing considerations
Typical grades available
Across US depots, MG-Atlantic supplies one-trip (new), IICL, cargo-worthy (CW), wind-and-watertight (WWT) and refurbished units. CW is the most-requested grade for storage and on-shipper export use; one-trip is preferred for modification, retail and residential projects; IICL is the choice for international leasing programmes.
Buying vs leasing, when to choose what
Buy when the unit will stay on-site for more than 24–30 months, be modified, or be exported one-way without return logistics. Lease (long-term) for predictable monthly cost on multi-year storage or warehousing needs. Use SOC one-way leasing when you need to ship cargo on a defined US export lane without paying for repositioning or demurrage.
Lead times and delivery
Port-city deliveries (Houston, Savannah, Long Beach) are typically scheduled within 2–5 business days. Inland deliveries (Dallas, Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver) typically run 3–7 business days from rail-ramp release. Same-day options are sometimes available depending on depot location and trucking availability.
