Own a piece of the shipping economy
Container assets have delivered 12–18% gross returns for decades. Until now, only institutional giants could access them
The ACT token changes that.
Fractional ownership in a pool of leased, maintained, UAE-held containers - earning monthly yield from real physical assets, with full legal protection under UAE law. The depot backing our fleet is part of what makes the yield sustainable.

Why the ACT Token
Container investment has historically been the preserve of institutional players - shipping lines, leasing giants, and infrastructure funds with the capital and networks to acquire, manage, and monetize fleets at scale.
The Alkiro Containers Token (ACT) changes that equation. By fractionalizing ownership of physical, revenue-generating container assets into digital tokens recorded on-chain, ACT allows investors to access a share of depot/container-backed value without needing institutional capital, fleet management infrastructure, or industry relationships. Each token represents a claim on a real, operational asset - leased, maintained, and stored through Alkiro's own vertically integrated platform - meaning the value behind the token is never abstract or purely speculative: it's tied directly to containers in active commercial use, generating lease revenue in a global trade market that continues to grow. This is tokenization applied with purpose, not novelty - a technical mechanism designed to unlock an asset class that capital markets have long underserved.
ACT: Two Tranches, One Platform - The Alkiro Containers Token (ACT) is structured to serve two distinct investor profiles through a single, fully-collateralized asset pool - combining Alkiro's depot infrastructure and physical container fleet into two complementary tranches, each backed by a different layer of Alkiro's vertically integrated operations.
The Senior Tranche is backed by Alkiro's depot real estate, storage infrastructure, and long-term operational contracts near Dubai Port. Structured for investors prioritizing stability, it is designed to be paid first from monthly depot revenue — gate fees, storage, washing, and maintenance & repair services — ahead of any other token holders. This tranche is built around capital preservation and a lower-volatility income profile.
The Mezzanine Tranche is backed by Alkiro's physical container assets and their active lease agreements. Returns here are performance-linked to container utilization: as global trade activity and lease demand rise, so does the earning potential of this tranche. It's designed for investors comfortable with variability in exchange for greater upside tied to real-world container trade activity - a return profile that moves with global shipping demand, not with financial markets.
Each container in Alkiro's fleet is tracked by its own BIC serial number through our Depot Management System (DMS). When a container is leased out, that activity is logged in real time and fed directly into Alkiro's tokenization platform - creating a transparent, auditable link between operational activity and investor returns, rather than relying on periodic reporting or third-party disclosures.
Alkiro also manages the natural lifecycle of its container fleet directly within the platform. A share of Mezzanine tranche revenue is automatically allocated to a reserve fund, which - together with proceeds from retired containers - is used to acquire replacement assets. This keeps the underlying asset pool fully collateralized over time, without requiring new capital raises or diluting existing token holders.
By separating real estate-backed stability from trade-linked performance, ACT gives investors the flexibility to choose - or combine - the risk and return profile that fits their strategy, within a single platform built on real, operational infrastructure. It's a structure long used in traditional real estate and infrastructure finance, now applied to an asset class - container leasing & trading - that has historically been accessible only to institutional players. Alkiro's vertical integration is what makes this level of structuring possible: because we own the depot, the containers, and the operational data behind both, we can back each tranche with real, verifiable performance rather than financial engineering alone.
The rise of Real-World Assets (RWA) tokenization
This model sits precisely at the convergence shaping today's investment landscape: the rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a serious, institutionally-recognized category of the digital asset economy, and growing investor appetite for assets with tangible, cash-flow-linked value rather than pure financial abstraction.
Alkiro is positioned as a pioneer in this convergence - one of the first platforms to apply tokenization not to a financial instrument layered atop the container industry, but to the underlying operational infrastructure itself: depot & containers, their leasing income, their maintenance, their custody, all owned and controlled end-to-end by the same entity issuing the token. That vertical integration is what gives ACT its edge on both dimensions investors care about most: return, because token holders gain exposure to lease revenue from operational, in-demand assets rather than idle capital; and safety, because the physical assets backing each token are maintained to CSC certification standards, stored at Alkiro's own depot, and fully traceable - removing the opacity and counterparty risk that has historically made container investment difficult to underwrite for anyone outside the industry.
FAQ
Q: What exactly does an ACT token represent?
A: Each ACT token represents a fractional interest in a physical, revenue-generating container asset owned and operated by Alkiro. Rather than purchasing an entire container or fleet, investors gain proportional exposure to the leasing revenue and value of the underlying asset.
Q: How does tokenization make container investment safer than traditional models?
A: Because Alkiro controls the full asset lifecycle — maintenance, storage, and leasing — the data underpinning each token (condition, location, utilization) comes directly from our own operations rather than third-party reporting. This traceability, combined with CSC-certified maintenance standards, reduces the information gaps that have traditionally made container investment difficult to verify from outside the industry.
Q: Do I need industry expertise or large capital to invest in ACT?
A: No. That's precisely the barrier ACT is designed to remove. Fractional ownership through tokenization allows investors to participate at a scale that suits them, without needing the fleet management infrastructure, industry relationships, or capital commitments traditionally required to access container-backed returns.
