Seaco Global is one of the largest container leasing companies in the industry with an international reputation for manufacturing quality and innovation. With over 50 years of industry knowledge and experience, Seaco operates the most diversified fleet of approximately 2.4m TEU representing Dry Boxes, Reefers, Tanks & Specials including Half Heights and Bulkers.
First established as Sea Containers (SCL) in the 1960s, it amalgamated with Genstar (the former container leasing arm of General Electric) in 1998 and was acquired under HNA in 2011. A further acquisition in 2015 combined Seaco with Cronos, since then Seaco has continued to grow and now has close to US $6 billion in assets.
Headquartered in Singapore, Seaco is led by a proven management team with an average of 25 years’ experience across multiple industry cycles and has 225 employees across 23 sales and support offices with representation in EMEIA, Asia, Americas & Oceania.
Seaco’s tank fleet is predominantly on lease to the major tank container operators. They, in turn, cover most of the market sectors. Other customers include the petrochemical producers, oil and gas players and those operating in the mining sector.
Approximately 75% of our fleet is T11, with a variety of capacities up to 26,000 litres and options including insulated, super-insulated and electrically heated tank containers. T14, T20, T22 and T50 tank containers are also available, together with lined tanks for high-end corrosion resistance.
Tank manufacturing developments have focused on lighter tank containers, stronger frames and the possible use of higher cost duplex steel. Seaco looks for designs that meet current and future market needs, reliability and flexibility in addition to the prerequisite requirements of safety, convenience, self-contained storage and reduced handling.
Chemical manufacturing is becoming more diverse, with smaller plants in more countries. Seaco believes that this, combined with a focus on operational efficiency and just-in-time delivery, will help drive demand and open new markets such as the Gas market.
Seaco’s global capability and local presence in Africa enables us to be adaptable to local changing customer preferences and able to exploit new market opportunities.
