CARU Containers

CARU Containers® operates as European market leader in sales, rental, and leasing of new and used shipping containers.

CARU Containers® was established in the year 2000, when three separate companies in the Rotterdam area decided to join forces: CATU Rotterdam (founded in 1992), Trade Craft (1984), and Lease Craft (1991). These companies were all specialists in the sales and leasing of shipping and storage containers. Under their new name CARU these enterprises, also as a result of mergers and opening own offices

in Belgium, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, the United States and Singapore, have developed into a multinational operating in the trading and leasing of shipping containers. Throughout the years CARU has evolved into one of the largest traders of new and used shipping containers in the world. Also, due to the increase of our leasing fleet CARU Containers belongs to world’s 15 largest container leasing companies. For already a number of years, CARU has a separate department which is specialized in DNV certified offshore containers.

Meet Gerto and Tim! 🎓

Our brand-new interns at the Rotterdam office. We are happy to have them on board, as we believe in giving young talent the space to learn and grow within CARU.

Gerto (left) is a Master’s student in Urban, Port and Transport Economics in Rotterdam. He is joining CARU for his thesis. With his background in Econometrics, Gerto will use data to help us optimize our global fleet. 🌍 Outside of work, he stays active in the gym or on the padel court. He also enjoys watching football or darts with his friends. 🎾

Tim (right) is doing the same study. Tim is joining us to write his thesis on a very exciting topic: the economic growth in India and the impact of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) on the container market. 📈 Outside of work, Tim is a passionate sailor and even crossed the Atlantic Ocean! From Cape Verde all the way to Grenada. ⛵

Good luck guys!

Your background shouldn’t determine your future. ⚡️🚛

That’s why we welcomed second-year JINC students to our Rotterdam depot today for a ‘lightning internship.’ JINC is an organization that helps children from neighborhoods with socio-economic challenges by introducing them to the labor market and discovering their talents. 🙏

We proudly support JINC because we believe every child has talent that deserves to be seen, regardless of where they grow up. By opening our doors to show them the world of container trading and logistics, we hope to spark a career path they might never have considered.

It was a pleasure to have these students over! ✨

Must-read on International Women’s Day! 💗📖

The port is often seen as a world for men. In our CARU offices, 40% of our colleagues are women. Our Sustainability Coördinator, Robine Schoonderwoerd, is a true advocate for women in business. She explains: "Diverse teams bring better ideas. Different perspectives help us understand and serve our customers worldwide."

We believe that equal opportunities should be championed everywhere, from the office to the arena. This is why we extend our commitment by supporting Excelsior Women. By partnering with them, we show that gender doesn't define success. Whether it's in the harbor or on the football pitch. ⚽️💗

An airsoft field from CARU containers. 🎯

Our partner Boels Rental built something special. They used yellow CARU containers to create a professional airsoft field. How impressive is that? This setup brings teambuilding events to a whole new level.⚡

At CARU, we like to see these new ideas. It shows that you can use our containers for almost anything. They are the perfect building blocks for big plans. Whether it is for storage or a sports field: our containers make it possible.🏗️
