Used shipping containers can give you lockable space for tools, stock or materials. Choose the size and condition for the job, then compare the cost of the specific unit with delivery. Our catalogue includes used containers in several sizes; send us your requirements if you need help narrowing the choice.
For shipping containers for sale in Latvia, start with the current Conway catalogue. Confirm the selected unit’s location, condition and availability before ordering.
Used shipping containers: starting prices and the final quote
Compare the same size and type. The figures below are dated Baltic starting prices, with VAT and delivery charged separately; ask for a quote for the actual container.
Indicative Conway Baltic starting prices, 20 October 2026:
| Size and type | Condition shown in the range | Starting price |
| 20ft standard | CW | From €1,800 + VAT |
| 40ft High Cube | CW, WWT or IICL, depending on the unit | From €1,500 + VAT for this type |
| 20ft High Cube | CW | Price on request |
| 45ft High Cube pallet-wide | CW | Price on request |
These are type-level starting prices across Conway’s Baltic websites. Some refer to containers in Vilnius or Tallinn. They exclude delivery and do not give a separate fixed price for each condition grade. Used shipping container prices depend on the actual unit, its location, condition and quantity ordered. A particular 40ft High Cube can therefore cost less than a particular 20ft standard container.
When comparing used shipping containers, ask for the container price, VAT, transport and unloading to be itemised. The lowest container-only figure may lead to a different total once it reaches your site. Read more about the factors in our shipping container price guide.
Understand CW, WWT and IICL
WWT describes wind and water tightness; CW concerns freight suitability. IICL refers to inspection and repair criteria. Check the actual unit and the documents needed for its intended use.
Used shipping containers can have scratches, small dents, surface rust and repaired areas. Appearance alone does not establish whether a container is suitable for a shipment.
| Description | What to check |
| WWT, Wind & Water Tight | Doors, seals, roof and walls. A storage unit’s CSC examination may no longer be current. |
| CW, Cargo Worthy | Structural condition and current CSC examination information for the proposed freight use. |
| IICL | The stated inspection and repair criteria, the actual condition and the documents supplied. |
Sellers’ own A, B and C grades can mean different things. Ask what is included in the description and compare photographs of the offered units. Our used-container condition guide explains the terms in more detail.
For sea transport, the presence of a CSC plate alone is insufficient. Confirm the examination status, actual condition and the requirements of the intended shipment before paying. Tell us at the start if you need the container for freight rather than storage.
Match the size to your use
A 20ft container is about 6.06 m long; a 40ft unit is about 12.19 m long. Check the doorway, internal clearance and delivery access as well as storage volume.
Our used range includes 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 45ft types. Confirm availability of the exact size, specification and condition before ordering. Standard 20ft containers have about 33.2 m³ of internal volume; standard 40ft containers have about 67.3–67.8 m³. High Cube is a taller specification and needs its own comparison.
Used shipping containers can suit garden equipment, building materials or business stock. Measure the largest item you need to load and compare it with the door opening. A volume figure does not tell you whether that item will fit through the doors. Use our container dimensions guide for the full comparison.
If you plan a home, office or sauna conversion, describe the project before selecting a unit. The required height and condition can affect your choice.
Arrange a viewing and delivery in Latvia
Choose a unit online, then contact our local team to confirm current photographs, a viewing location and the delivered price.
Call +371 62005550 or use our Latvia contact form. Our Latvian office is at Uriekstes iela 18B, Riga, LV-1005; the sales team’s published hours are 09:00–18:00. Agree the container viewing address and time separately before travelling.
For a delivery quote, send the size, intended use, quantity and full delivery address. Describe the approach road, turning space and proposed unloading position. Conway supplies containers across the Baltics; the vehicle and placement arrangements must be agreed for the particular site.
Catalogue images illustrate a container type. They do not confirm a specific unit’s colour, repairs or present condition. When shortlisting used shipping containers, ask for current pictures of the doors, sides, roof and floor of the actual unit.
Inspect the unit before buying
Check doors, seals, roof, walls and floor. Agree the identity of the unit, the condition sold and everything included in the price.
During a viewing, check that the doors open and close without excessive force and that the seals are intact. Look for holes, deep corrosion and repairs on the roof and walls. Inspect the floor for damp, damage and unusual odours. Confirm the container number and, for freight use, the CSC examination status.
The offer should identify the unit, its price and VAT treatment, transport and unloading terms, and the agreed handover date. Ask separately about a lock, shelves or alterations if you need them.
Place the container on a level, firm base. Clear debris from the roof, check rust spots during maintenance and lubricate hinges and locking mechanisms. Ventilation matters for moisture-sensitive goods: condensation can still form inside a watertight container.
Questions before you order
The right purchase combines a suitable condition grade, confirmed dimensions, current photographs and a unit-specific offer.
Can a WWT container be used for sea freight?
The WWT label alone does not establish that. Confirm structural condition and current CSC examination information for the intended transport. Tell our team how you plan to use it.
Will a used container keep water out?
WWT means wind and water tight. Check the seals, roof, walls and floor of the offered unit. Temperature changes, ventilation and damp stored goods also affect condensation.
How long will it last?
Remaining service life depends on condition, use and maintenance. Assess corrosion, the floor, roof and repairs rather than relying on age alone.
