Lessors Beware
Shipping containers are large reusable boxes designed for the efficient carriage of cargo worldwide. Because they are intermodal (they can be used in the shipment of goods by rail, sea or highway) and secure (after goods are loaded at their origin, the container is typically sealed until unloaded at its final destination), shipping containers have been instrumental in promoting the growth of world trade. Shipping containers are financed in many different ways. One common structure is for an owner to hire a manager, such as Textainer Equipment Management, to manage the containers and lease them out to a third party on a short- or long-term lease. The third party, in turn, may sublease the containers to yet another party.
