10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half Height Open Top Offshore Container: Built for Demanding Offshore Operations

Our 10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half Height Open Top Offshore Container is engineered specifically for offshore storage and transport operations where standard containers fall short. With its reduced height profile, completely open top, and full DNV certification, this unit delivers the access, strength, and safety compliance that offshore operators require.

Whether you are storing heavy equipment, irregular shaped cargo, or materials that need to be loaded from above by crane, this container provides unrestricted top access combined with the structural integrity to withstand constant exposure to salt spray, high winds, and the dynamic forces encountered on vessels and platforms.

Why a Half Height Open Top Design

Standard full height containers create challenges in offshore environments where deck space is limited and crane loading is the primary method of access. The half height profile keeps the center of gravity low for safer handling during lifts, while the completely open top eliminates the need to open doors or remove covers before loading. There are no roof bows or tarp components to manage, which means faster turnaround times and fewer moving parts that could fail in harsh conditions.

Key Features

Completely open top: No steel roof, no bows, no tarp. Load and unload from above without any obstruction, making crane operations faster and simpler.
Single swing steel door: A secure front access door allows ground level loading and unloading when crane access is not available or practical.
DNV certified slings: Included lifting slings are certified to DNV standards, providing safe and compliant lift points for offshore crane operations.
Stackable construction: Corner castings and structural reinforcement allow multiple units to be stacked securely, maximizing limited deck space on platforms and vessels.
Half height profile: The 1,280 mm external height keeps loads low and stable, reducing risk during transport and making the container easier to handle in confined spaces.

Certifications

DNV 2.7-1: The primary offshore container standard, ensuring the unit meets all structural, lifting, and safety requirements for use on offshore installations and supply vessels.
EN 12079: European standard for offshore containers, confirming compliance with international operational and safety requirements.
ISO/CSC: Certified for international container shipping and handling, providing flexibility for both offshore deployment and conventional transport.

Construction

High strength Corten steel: The entire shell is fabricated from weathering steel rated for continuous saltwater exposure. The material develops a stable oxide layer that protects against deeper corrosion without requiring paint maintenance.
Reinforced corner castings: Heavy duty castings at all eight corners provide secure stacking and lifting points rated for offshore crane operations.
Welded steel floor: A solid steel floor plate distributes heavy loads evenly and resists damage from equipment placement and movement.

Ideal Applications

Offshore platform deck storage
Supply vessel cargo transport
Heavy equipment and machinery storage
Pipe, cable, and materials staging
Subsea equipment handling
Onshore industrial yard storage
