SOC (Shipper's Own Container) in general are Cargo worthy or IICL condition shipping containers which are a property of the Consignee.
This mode of transport saves the risk of detention and demurrage payments or fees for the extended usage of the container and return of the container to the port within the time period specified by the shipping line.
The container, after it is deported from the ship and necessary custom formalities have been completed, will be the property of the consignee and the same can be moved by road/rail route to the requisite destination. Once the container cargo is unloaded, the container may then be used for storage purpose or can be sold in the market.
