Grimaldi Group has clarified its procedures for the sale and management of empty containers, following concerns raised by industry stakeholders over transparency and operational practices.

The shipping company said the process is strictly regulated and conducted in line with international maritime and logistics standards, with clear documentation and approved channels for disposal or resale of containers.

According to the company, empty container sales are only carried out when equipment reaches a specified condition or operational threshold, and all transactions are properly recorded to ensure accountability.

Grimaldi also emphasised that the process is not arbitrary, noting that it follows established industry practices aimed at improving fleet efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

In Nigeria, industry observers say the clarification comes amid growing scrutiny of shipping operations and port-related logistics transparency.

Maritime stakeholders have called for stronger regulation and monitoring of container handling processes to ensure fair competition and reduce operational disputes within the sector.

The company reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high operational standards and working closely with regulators and partners across global shipping routes.
