Yes — Container Depot Direct ships new and used shipping containers to Ottawa, Canada, including Gatineau and Kanata. Containers travel by ocean freight to the nearest Canadian port and then complete final delivery by tilt-bed or flatbed truck directly to your site.
Delivering Your Shipping Container to Ottawa — Everything You Need to Know
Every container shipped internationally to Ottawa is CSC-plated (Container Safety Convention) — this certification is required for ocean transport and confirms the unit has passed structural safety inspection and is approved for stacking and international carriage. Once the container clears the port nearest Ottawa, final delivery is completed by tilt-bed or flatbed truck, the same as a domestic delivery: tilt-bed trucks winch the container off without a crane for most driveways and level sites, while flatbed delivery is used when a crane or forklift is already on site. Exact timing depends on sailing schedules and customs processing at the time of your order.

Is It Worth Buying a New (One-Trip) vs. Used Container in Ottawa?
A new, one-trip container costs more but arrives with no prior cargo use — ideal if appearance and a full remaining lifespan matter. A used, cargo-worthy container costs less and shows cosmetic wear from years of service, but remains fully weatherproof and structurally sound — a practical choice for straightforward storage in Ottawa.
