Unitas was set up by Mr Darrell Ponniah, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in 1997 to service the intermodal container financing needs of container shipping lines and other users. As a financing specialist, Unitas uses a wide range of lease products to provide our clients with bespoke solutions. Our success has been built on our ability to understand the complex, volatile, fast-evolving and highly competitive markets in which we work; the container shipping, container leasing and global financial markets.
In 2006, having already financed over $900 million of containers, Unitas expanded its activities to include full service master lease and term leasing. This expansion of was timed to coincide with developments in the capital markets, advances in standardised web-based communication technology and the growing sophistication of shipping line asset management to provide a broader range of products to our customers and ensure a high level of customer service. This move into container leasing and asset management has been achieved by acquiring leased fleets and by adding new build containers to create an extensive rental fleet. The range of containers includes dry boxes, marine specials, tank containers, reefers and swap bodies.
In 2007, Unitas further diversified its operating lease portfolio, by establishing a dedicated tank container leasing division. This was achieved by acquiring a leasing fleet of 1,300 tank containers. With the recent addition of new builds, the total fleet currently stands at nearly 2,000 tank containers.
Unitas has a flat organisation structure to ensure a responsive service built upon a team of dedicated professionals.
