Shipping Containers as Hard Asset Investments are a Wise and Sound Idea

Hard assets have always been a sound investment idea because they do not depend on fickle and inconsistent factors such as political stability, economic performance, etc. Shipping container investment is perhaps the most popular of the hard asset investments market.

Throughout the world, there’s always something or the other that gets transported from location A to B. This demand is never ever likely to diminish. Investing in a shipping container is unlike the most popular forms of investments today, where high returns that can be made quickly are hoped for. “This is a slow, albeit guaranteed investment process,” says a spokesperson for Pacific Tycoon, a shipping container investment and asset management company.

Investing is simple; the investor has to claim ownership on one of the many shipping containers with the investment company by paying the requisite amount. This container is now the investor’s in every aspect. The intermediary investment company then leases it out to shipping industry under long term contracts. The containers are then rented to manufacturing companies waiting for containers to ship their products across the globe. The ROI is either through a 12% guaranteed lease or a rental agreement, whichever is the investor’s choice.

“Investors who lease their containers to for at least two years can see their investment being recouped for the price that was initially paid. And if they were to lease for less than two years, we buy the container for market price,” adds the spokesperson.

About Pacific Tycoon:

Pacific Tycoon is a Hong Kong based shipping container investment and asset management company. They organize and manage the transit of domestic, business and industrial goods around the world.

SPAQυE est une société anonyme de droit public créée en 1991. Historiquement, SPAQυE avait pour mission la réhabilitation des décharges en Wallonie. En 2001, la Région wallonne lui a confié, en sus, la réhabilitation des friches industrielles polluées.

Grâce à cette expertise, SPAQυE prend en charge l’ensemble du processus de réhabilitation d’un site pollué : inventaire, bilan historique, investigations des sols dépollution, construction.

SPAQυE est un acteur majeur du développement économique et durable de la Wallonie. Elle a d’ores et déjà rendu plus de 760 hectares de friches dépolluées à l’économie sur lesquels des projets se sont concrétisés ou sont en cours d’élaboration.

SPAQυE assure également la surveillance et la post-gestion de nombreuses décharges en Wallonie. Sur plusieurs décharges, elle utilise le biogaz qui en émane pour produire de l’électricité et de la chaleur. Impliquée dans le développement durable, elle développe des cultures énergétiques (miscanthus) sur plusieurs friches industrielles réhabilitées. Des projets d’installation de panneaux photovoltaïques sur des sites assainis sont également à l’étude.

A côté de cela, SPAQυE s’occupe de la gestion de la qualité de l’environnement et de la santé. Elle intervient également, dans l’urgence et à la demande du gouvernement wallon, en cas de pollution accidentelle et grave du sol.
