- 02
Complete onboarding
The team requests identity and source-of-funds information and records the compliance review. An enquiry is only the starting point.
- 03
Review the agreement
Confirm the principal, ownership allocation, rate basis, dates, costs and responsibilities in the signed documents.
- 04
Follow the records
Use your account to review assigned assets, investments, movements, payment entries, asset issues and shared documents.
Know what your account can show.
The operating history
Recorded location, movement events, next expected update and relevant asset issues. Updates are entered by staff; map routes are planned routes.
The payment trail
USD amounts, due dates, statuses, monthly or prorated calculation basis and payment references. Private receipts can be shared with your account.
The portal reports entered records. A scheduled payment is not a received payment, and an allocation field does not replace the signed ownership documents. Lifecycle step records and their attachments remain staff-only.
Before making a decision
Get the costs and risks into the conversation.
Container ownership involves operational, counterparty and market risk. The site’s calculator is illustrative and excludes fees, downtime, tax and other costs. It does not establish an offer or guarantee a return.
Understand the payment recordsQuestions to take to the team
- Which container and lessee are involved, and what evidence can I review?
- How are ownership, allocation and the investment period documented?
- What rate and payment basis apply, and how are partial periods handled?
- What fees and other costs apply? Who pays for repairs, insurance, storage and transport?
- What happens during downtime, delayed payment, damage or a lessee default?
- What happens at maturity, sale or an early exit? Are any amounts or timings conditional?
