Shipping containers for sale in Tallinn and across Estonia
Conway Container Solutions has been selling and renting shipping containers since 2018. Our Estonian office is in Maardu (Vana-Narva mnt 2), right next to Tallinn, and we deliver containers all over Estonia as well as to Latvia, Lithuania and Scandinavia.
This page brings together every type of shipping container we offer - new, used, reefer and special - with their dimensions, tips on picking the right one and an explanation of what drives the price.
Shipping containers we offer
- New (one-trip) shipping containers have carried cargo only once. They have a valid CSC plate and look almost factory-fresh. The right choice for shipping, long-term use and building a container home or office. New shipping containers
- Used shipping containers are inspected and graded CW (cargo worthy) or WWT (wind & water tight). They keep out wind and rain and cost much less - a good fit for storage, building sites and farms. Used shipping containers
- Reefer containers are insulated containers with their own refrigeration unit for cargo that must stay at a set temperature. Reefer containers
- Special containers - open top, flat rack, open side, double-door and tank containers for cargo that does not fit a standard box. Special containers
Shipping container dimensions in metres
Shipping containers are built to ISO standards, so their sizes are the same everywhere in the world. In Estonia most buyers choose a 20ft (about 6 m) or a 40ft (about 12 m) container. A 10ft container suits a small plot, a 45ft one suits large volumes. Most sizes also come as high cube, about 30 cm taller, and as pallet wide, which takes two euro pallets side by side.

How to choose the right shipping container
- What is it for? For storage a used WWT container is enough. To ship cargo you need a CW container with a valid CSC plate. For a home, office or sauna, go for a new high cube container.
- How much space do you need? A 20ft container takes up to 11 euro pallets, a 40ft about 23-24.
- Where will it stand? The crane truck has to reach the spot, and the ground must be level and firm. See how to prepare a base for a container.
- Buy or rent? If you need it for a few months only, look at shipping container rental.
Still deciding between two sizes? Read 20ft or 40ft container - which one to pick.
What the price of a shipping container depends on
The price depends on size, condition (new, CW or WWT), height (standard or high cube), quantity and delivery address. Container prices also follow global demand, which is why we prepare a personal quote for every customer.
Specific containers at the container terminal in Maardu, with photos, condition and location - many with a price - are listed under Containers in stock. Our article how much does a shipping container cost explains how prices are formed.
Delivery across Estonia
We bring containers to Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, Narva or anywhere else in Estonia, and on request to Latvia, Lithuania and Scandinavia - by road, rail or sea. On site we lift the container into place with a crane truck, or use a side loader that sets it down right beside the truck, even where access is tight. See transport services.
Standards and documents
Our shipping containers meet ISO standards (ISO 830, 668, 6346, 1161, 1496-1). Containers meant for shipping have a valid CSC plate (at least 12 months) and a registered BIC code, and comply with the TIR convention for road transport and UIC code 592-1 for rail.
