MATCHBOX Exchange for Thailand

We would like to inform you that Hapag-Lloyd has joined partnership with MATCHBOX Exchange for Thailand, effective from January 11, 2021. Our aim is to provide a more efficient supply chain solution for Re-use and Exchange of containers. Through a seamless innovative digital sourcing platform, customers in need of containers can simply send a request for reuse and exchange with an instantaneous approval for export bookings.

Since March 2019, Hapag-Lloyd has been working closely with MATCHBOX Exchange to perform on street turn requests in Australia and New Zealand leading to many successful triangulations (re-use/exchange) to date.

The platform offers two valuable options:

1. Re-use function – this provides opportunities for customers to directly re-use an import container for export bookings without the container transiting through a container park.
2. Exchange function – this provides opportunities for customer to exchange an empty import container with another customer holding an export booking.

*Rate applies: USD 30/per re-use and USD 15.00/per exchange function per party

The key benefits:

• Lower operation trucking costs
• Decreased waiting time and congestion at depots
• Better control with improved transparency
• Access 24/7 on requests and instant approvals
• Reduction on global carbon footprint
