COC (Carrier Owned Container)
Category: Logistics
Also searched as: Carrier owned container
Definition (plain English)
Carrier-owned container means the carrier supplies the container equipment for the shipment.
Why it matters commercially
COC moves usually follow carrier free-time, detention, repair, and empty-return rules.
Example
An importer checked COC detention terms because the warehouse needed two days to unload the container.
Common mistake
Forgetting that carrier equipment must be returned on time even when customs or warehouse delays are outside the carrier control.
