Frequently asked questions

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 derive income by leasing your containers, but we can help you sell it at a profit as well. It is another consideration when measuring the gains of investing in assets that we will help you with along the way.

When the time comes, 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.

If you lease us 5 containers or more, you will receive your income monthly. If you lease us less than 5, you receive income quarterly.

Container damage is rare, but it does occur. In the event of such an incident, your container will be repaired or replaced through an insurance policy we maintain on all the containers in our fleet.

Likewise, you are personally indemnified from any damage the container might do during the course of business.

We will not notify you for the whereabouts of your containers unless you specifically ask us. The deployment and use of your containers is a professional issue that requires day to day to day tracking of the shipping business that Pacific Tycoon manages for you.

We do not discuss the distribution plan for the containers because the only plan is to lease them to those wishing to transport goods from one port to the next. If you wish to know where your containers are at any time, please feel free to contact us.

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

As professionals in the shipping industry, we handle all of that for you. We're happy to share whatever information you desire on your containers, but you need not be concerned with their daily operation. That is our job and we do it well so you don't have to.

Pacific Tycoon treats your personal information as confidential and will not share, sell nor rent it to any third party.
