01 — About

Puerto Rico headquarters. Six continents of work.

Global Intermodal Equipment Services is a specialist advisory firm for the life of intermodal assets — dry and refrigerated containers, gensets, and chassis.

From San Juan we have appraised fleets on six continents for multinational finance companies, insurers, fleet managers, and government agencies. A network of domestic and international appraisers produces valuations that stand up in taxation, accounting, litigation, and financing.

When equipment goes missing after a default, a judgment is only as good as the recovery. We have led more than thirty engagements across twenty-three countries, returning hundreds of millions of dollars to creditors.

Residual value is the uncertainty that moves owning cost. We model it, rather than guess it.

04 — Method

A judgment is only as good as the recovery that follows it.

01

Proprietary models

Residual value is modeled from manufacturer, condition, region, age, auction data, and trade-weighted macro indicators — not a straight-line guess.

02

Locate, then liquidate

Missing boxes are found across jurisdictions, then placed with parties who have immediate utility. Auction is a last resort, not a first call.

03

Court-ready testimony

Expert witness in federal court and maritime proceedings. UCC, bankruptcy, and multi-jurisdictional recovery, in the room with counsel.

05 — Markets

A Caribbean base, a global theater.

Appraisals delivered on six continents. Active recovery and remarketing in the markets where equipment actually moves — and where it goes missing.
