About us

THE CONTAINER-LEASING EXPERTS

Since 2007, O. V. Lahtinen (OVL) has been a reliable container supplier and trusted solutions provider for logistics companies and individuals who need to move goods in Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, North America and China. We offer new and pre-owned containers, rental options, and our popular One-Way, One-Fee leasing service that connects Europe, America and Asia and saves logistics operators and importers/exporters both time and money.

OVL Container is a specialized one-way container-leasing company. 

We are at the forefront of a new generation of dedicated companies pioneering a new path forward for the industry. Our goal is to redefine container shipping to fit an ever-changing global supply chain. 

We believe that one-way leasing is the future of container shipping, and we are committed to defining industry best practices and ‘next practices’.

Our Unique Approach

We offer the most competitive leasing options on the One Belt – One Road (OBOR) between Asia and Europe. Our One-Way, One-Fee service provides access to new and distant markets and eliminates having to pay to transport empty containers. We’ve actually made it our mission to see that no container travels empty because of the positive implications it can have for our industry and the planet.

We are experts with the spirit of a rebel. OVL embodies one-way leasing done right today, with the goal of leading its development for tomorrow. We challenge the status quo of a conservative industry by subverting conventional thinking about one-way leasing.

Our approach combines best-in-class digital technology with one of the market’s most accessible depot networks and perhaps its most reliable fleet. This allows us to deliver tailor-made, yet simple, and lucrative solutions that are cost-effective for forwarders. 

Our solutions are designed to benefit the triple-bottom-line. We aim to set new industry standards and condition the market to embrace our unique brand of service. We deliver this despite being a smaller operator without a premium price tag.
