    Why Strasbourg businesses choose our containers

    With 34,000 establishments spread across the automotive industry, pharmaceuticals, food processing, port logistics and Alsace winegrowing, the Strasbourg Eurométropole generates storage needs that vary radically from one sector to another. The shipping container stands out here as a practical solution: modular, deliverable to the port area or the outskirts, it meets the constraints of a food-processing cold chain just as well as the security requirements of a pharmaceutical stock or a construction site facility.

    Construction

    Secure equipment storage and site facilities for construction in Strasbourg

    Deux-Rives, Archipel, the redevelopment of the Port du Rhin: the Eurométropole is redrawing a whole part of the city. Dozens of construction sites run in parallel, often in dense areas where land is scarce. Equipment stored on site is exposed to theft and bad weather, with no nearby depot to fall back on.

    A 20 ft or 40 ft container is placed on site within hours. Enclosed, watertight, break-in resistant: equipment stays protected between working days. On a long project, a second module fitted out as a site facility houses the teams: changing rooms, break room, office. Two modules, no temporary permit to chase.

    Import-export

    Goods storage and transit for logistics and import/export in Strasbourg

    Strasbourg connects Alsace to the major ports of northern Europe via 17 rail shuttles a week. Import/export businesses working along this corridor manage continuous flows of goods in transit. A customs delay or a seasonal peak, and buffer storage is needed within 48 hours. Conventional warehouses can't absorb this variability.

    An on-site container becomes an instant buffer. It fits into the river-rail-road multimodal chain that already arrives via the port. 20 ft or 40 ft dry containers cover most transit needs. In an unloading setup near the terminals, they avoid trips back and forth to the central warehouse.

    Agri-food

    Maintaining the cold chain for the food industry in Strasbourg

    Every year-end, the Christmas market and the holiday season send demand soaring. Alsace's food industry — breweries, dairy, meat processing — runs at full production for several weeks. Fixed cold rooms fill up. One break in the cold chain is enough to lose an entire batch.

    A reefer container adds a cold room within 72 hours, from -25°C to +25°C, on a simple power socket. Faster than construction, cheaper than a long-term rental. It absorbs the seasonal peak, then leaves. It's also the backup solution when fixed equipment breaks down.

    Industry

    Parts storage and maintenance workshop for the automotive industry in Strasbourg

    The automotive industry in Strasbourg means Punch Powerglide and a dense network of equipment makers and subcontractors. These sites handle heavy parts, specialised tools, oils and lubricants that must be stored to standard. Square metres in industrial zones are expensive and negotiated on an annual basis.

    A container frees up space without extending the building. Spare parts, raw materials, buffer stock: Corten steel holds up over time. With shelving, lighting and ventilation, it becomes a mobile maintenance workshop. For fluids, the bunded version handles regulatory compliance.

    Storage

    Secure storage for pharmaceuticals and life sciences in Strasbourg

    Pharmaceuticals in Strasbourg means Biovalley — Europe's leading life sciences hub. Medicines, reagents, biological samples: regulations require traceability, security and controlled temperature. A 2°C deviation on a batch means destruction. Labs can't afford to cut corners.

    A locked reefer container holds temperature to the degree, with continuous logging. For a mobile lab or a temporary clean room, the fitted-out version offers a controlled environment within 7 to 10 days. High-security locking, fully watertight: you meet GDP requirements without building a dedicated facility.

    Winemaking

    Wine-growing equipment storage for Alsace winegrowing

    The Alsace wine route starts right at the gates of Strasbourg. Estates there often work out of historic buildings, where every square metre counts. Harvest equipment, plant-protection products, seasonal accommodation: needs pile up without any way to extend the walls.

    A 20 ft container slots into an estate courtyard without touching the heritage buildings. It protects wine-growing equipment from theft and bad weather. For bottles awaiting shipment, a ventilated or temperature-controlled model preserves quality. At harvest time, a fitted-out unit serves as accommodation for seasonal workers.

    Port access

    Strasbourg and the Port Autonome de Strasbourg: your direct access to shipping containers

    The Port Autonome de Strasbourg — a leading container hub

    The Port Autonome de Strasbourg (PAS) is France's 2nd largest river port, and 2nd on the Rhine behind Duisburg. 1,000 hectares, 7.2 million tonnes a year, 323,500 TEU in 2025. Five multimodal gantry cranes, 10,000 TEU of storage capacity. And 17 weekly rail shuttles to Antwerp, Rotterdam, Fos-sur-Mer and Le Havre.

    We source directly from the PAS terminals, minutes from the city centre. That means a wide stock, short lead times and prices aligned with the Rhine corridor.

    Find answers to the most common questions about our containers and services.

    What is the price of a shipping container in Strasbourg?

    The price depends on the container's type and condition. A used 20 ft container starts at around €1,500 to €2,500. A 40 ft container ranges between €2,000 and €4,000.

    What is the delivery time for a container in Strasbourg?

    Delivery generally takes place within 48 to 72 hours for containers in stock at the Port Autonome de Strasbourg. Transport is carried out by container truck. For specific models not available in stock, the timeframe can reach 1 to 2 weeks depending on supply.

    Do you need a permit to install a container in Strasbourg?

    It depends on the use and the length of installation. A container placed temporarily on a construction site generally doesn't require specific authorisation. For a permanent installation, a prior planning declaration or a building permit may be required. Check Strasbourg's local urban plan (PLU) with the town hall or the Eurométropole's planning department.

    Can I buy a used container in Strasbourg?

    Yes. National Conteneur offers new, used and last-trip containers. A used container has been used for sea transport for several years. It remains fully functional for storage. A "last-trip" container has made a final sea voyage before being withdrawn from circulation. It shows signs of wear but remains watertight and secure. It's the most economical option.

    What container sizes are available in Strasbourg?

    We offer the standard shipping formats. The 20 ft measures around 6.06 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m (33 m³). The 40 ft measures 12.19 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m (67 m³). The 40 ft High Cube offers 2.90 m of interior height (76 m³). Reefer (refrigerated) and open top containers are also available.

    Do you deliver throughout Bas-Rhin?

    Yes. We deliver throughout the Bas-Rhin department: Strasbourg and its Eurométropole, Schiltigheim, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Haguenau, Obernai, Saverne, Molsheim, Sélestat and every neighbouring town. The industrial zones and logistics platforms (Espace Européen de l'Entreprise, Parc d'Innovation, Plateforme de Brumath, PAS port area) are served without difficulty.
