★★★★★
Bought three 20-foot units in 2024. The convenient part is that I do nothing — a payment lands every month and a load report every quarter.

I started with one 10-foot unit just to see how it works. Six months later I added two more. The lease agreement is strict and fully transparent.

★★★★★
The key thing is that it is a physical asset. Not an "investment in a project" — a real steel box you can see at the terminal and take back if you wish.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here — ask a manager via the form below

Who becomes the owner of the container after purchase?
You do. Title is formalised through the sale and purchase agreement and the handover act. The container receives a BIC code — the international identifier under ISO 6346, registered in your name as the owner.
Where is my container physically located?
At partner terminals in the ports of Vladivostok, Novorossiysk and Saint Petersburg. You can see the geolocation of each unit in the owner dashboard. On request — you can visit the terminal in person and inspect the container.
What if the lessee (OOO «UNION») stops paying?
The lease agreement is terminated unilaterally. The container stays with you. You may lease it to another operator, sell it on the secondary market or take it into your own storage.
Can I sell the container?
Yes, at any time. It is your physical asset. OOO «UNION» offers a buyback at the market price (the buyback option is recorded in the contract), or you may sell it independently through any channel.
What taxes do I pay as an owner?
On lease payments: 13% personal income tax (for resident individuals without entrepreneur status), or 6% under the simplified tax regime (as an entrepreneur), or 6% professional-income tax (self-employed status). OOO «UNION» may act as a tax agent on request — withholding and remitting personal income tax for you.
Does the payout depend on container utilization?
Under the base scheme — no, the rate is fixed in the lease agreement. The contract specifies how idle time longer than 60 days is handled: a reduced rate applies. This shields the owner from idle-time risk and at the same time motivates the management company to keep the container in service.
How does this differ from investing in securities?
This is the purchase of physical property (a shipping container), not a financial instrument. The product is not regulated by the Russian Securities Market Act, does not require qualified-investor status and does not carry stock-market volatility risk. You are buying a container in the same way you would buy a car or a piece of equipment.
