What sets this floor apart

All container and intermodal pieces in one place: equipment builds, leasing, M&R, depot tech, tracking, and data. Use it to benchmark costs, compare specs, and align partners for 2026–2027 programmes.

🧱

Equipment and builds

Standard, reefer, tank, and specialty boxes with component suppliers on hand.

  • Steel grades and panel specs
  • Reefer compressor and control options

Leasing and financing

Lessors and financiers share pricing frames and utilisation views for your fleet plan.

  • Term structures and indexation
  • Redelivery points and grade standards
  • Buyback and extension options
🧰

M&R, depots, and terminals

Depot management, repair standards, EDI, and gate automation to compress cycle time.

  • Damage matrices and estimate workflows
  • Spare parts lead times
  • Yard automation and OCR checks
📡

Tracking and data

Smart tags, telematics, and analytics tied to exceptions and dwell reduction.

  • Battery life and coverage footprints
  • APIs, EDI, and alert logic
  • ETA guidance and demurrage control
🚆

Rail–road–sea corridors

Operators and platforms to stitch inland legs to ocean schedules.

Practical notes

Arrivals and access

  • Plan metro to SWEECC; rideshare for late evenings
  • Badge pickup opens before hall hours; bring photo ID
  • Expect queues on Wednesday morning

Make the hall work

  • Block 60–90 minutes daily for like-for-like comparisons
  • Collect spec sheets, API lists, warranty and lead times
  • Leave each stand with one next step: trial, audit, or pricing

Fleet and box strategy

  • Balance lease terms with utilisation and redelivery risk
  • Lock depot partners on your heaviest lanes
  • Track reefer and tank compliance requirements

Data and visibility

  • Check device battery life, coverage, and certifications
  • Map alerts to claims, dwell, and demurrage
  • Confirm integration to TMS and depot systems
Three-day rhythm
Day 1 morning
Day 2 deep dives
Day 3 wrap
Do demos early, comparisons mid-day, and lock follow-ups before Friday 15:00.

Treat Intermodal Asia 2026 like a working sprint. Walk in with target box counts, lease terms, and two upgrade priorities; walk out with signed trials, depot partners on key lanes, and a clear data plan for tracking and M&R. Use mornings for demos, mid-day for like-for-like comparisons, and the final afternoon to lock pricing and redelivery conditions. On the flight home, send a one-page recap with decisions, costs, and dates so your 2026–2027 equipment plan moves from hall conversations to scheduled actions.
