Our warehouse - the backbone of
a better container operation
A dedicated UAE depot gives Alkiro — and our clients — something the market sorely lacks: a single location for storage, maintenance, and rapid redeployment
Storage, maintenance & repair - all in one facility
For container owners, shippers, freight forwarders, and lessors who need a trusted UAE base for their assets between legs.
Container storage
Secure, insured ground storage for idle or in-transit TEUs. GPS-tagged inventory, daily condition monitoring, flexible access. Rates from $50–$90/TEU/month depending on duration and volume.
Structural & cosmetic repairs
Floor replacement, panel welding, corner casting repairs, door hinge and seal replacement. All work logged digitally with before/after photographic record and repair certificate.
CSC re-certification
Containers requiring CSC plate renewal or ACEP inspection handled on-site by our certified team. Critical for containers returning to international commercial service after storage or damage.
Cleaning & pre-lease prep
Full interior and exterior cleaning, fumigation, PTI (pre-trip inspection), and commercial readiness check. Every container leaving our depot is lease-ready — no surprises at the other end.
Owning or controlling our depot facility means Alkiro can maintain own-fleet containers in peak leaseable condition at near-cost, reducing fleet degradation preserving high-quality standards in our products and sustaining investor yield. It simultaneously allows better responsiveness and flexibility while it generates independent revenue from third-party storage and M&R — improving service capability and diversifying income beyond trading and leasing margins alone.
The warehouse is not just an operations asset — it's a revenue line, a risks mitigation tool, and a competitive moat.

Q: What does Alkiro's M&R service include?
A: Alkiro provides in-house maintenance and repair (M&R) for containers, performed to CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) standards, with certification issued accordingly. Because M&R is handled directly by our own team, we maintain full control and accountability over container condition — no third-party dependency, no delays.
Q: Can I store containers at your depot even if I don't lease from Alkiro?
A: Alkiro operates its own depot and storage facility located near Dubai Port, giving clients fast, reliable access to containers exactly when they're needed. Owning this part of the process end-to-end allows us to move faster and with greater certainty than providers who rely on external depots.
Q: Where are Alkiro's containers stored, and how does depot access work?
A: Yes. Our depot is open to third-party container owners, shippers, and freight forwarders. Storage is available on flexible terms from weekly onwards. We charge $50–$90 per TEU per month depending on duration and volume. Contact us for a depot access agreement.
