Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I wish to sell my container unit and recoup my initial investment?

Along with the income that container leases bring, container owners can make an additional profit selling their containers. Since the price of containers rises and falls with economic fluctuation, we encourage owners to leverage those fluctuations to turn a profit. Pacific Tycoon not only helps you profit by leasing your containers, but we can help you sell it as well. It is another consideration when measuring the gains of investing in assets.

Pacific Tycoon will resell your container unit at a nominal 2% commission rate. Or, you may sell your container unit on your own to another party, but you must inform Pacific Tycoon of your intention to sell, and provide proof of the transaction.

How will I be notified of where the containers are, and what are the plans for it?

We will not notify you where your containers are unless you specifically ask us. The deployment and use of your containers is a professional issue that requires professional know-how in the shipping business. We do not discuss the "plan" for the containers because the only plan is to lease them to those wishing to transport goods from one place to another. If you wish to know where your containers are at any time just call us.

Will I know what my container will carry, and where to? Am I responsible for its contents?

You won’t need to know, nor be concerned with the contents of your container. Our contracts clearly place that burden on the lessee.

What part will I have to play in terms of deciding whether or not to accept a contract?

As shipping professionals, we handle all of that for you. We'd be happy to share whatever information you desire on your containers, but you need not be concerned with their daily operation.
