Greystone Logistics
Greystone Logistics purchases, owns, and leases intermodal containers and chassis. It acquires assets through direct orders of new-build containers and purchases of existing chassis fleets for refurbishment, then places them on long-term triple-net leases with ocean carriers and logistics operators. Revenue depends on the number of units on lease and average lease length. The firm holds assets on its corporate balance sheet and maintains headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. Counterparties include Maersk, MSC, Union Pacific, and BNSF.

Frequently asked questions
What does Greystone Logistics own and lease?
Greystone owns and leases intermodal shipping containers and chassis. This includes standard dry-van containers, refrigerated units, and specialized equipment like tank containers. The chassis fleet comprises the wheeled undercarriages that trucks use to haul containers for short-distance drayage from ports and rail terminals.
Who are Greystone's typical customers?
Greystone's lessees include global ocean carriers needing container capacity, Class I railroads requiring chassis for domestic intermodal ramps, and trucking companies engaged in port drayage. Specific counterparties known in the intermodal leasing space include Maersk, CMA CGM, and Union Pacific.
How is Greystone different from a publicly traded container lessor like Triton?
Greystone operates as a private, unaffiliated lessor, which distinguishes it from both the large public lessors and the captive equipment pools owned by the shipping lines themselves. This private structure allows for long-term capital decisions without the quarterly earnings pressure faced by public firms, while its independence means it can lease to any carrier without the appearance of favoring a parent company's logistics arm.
