Product Advantages

Purpose-Built Offshore Cargo Container

The 20ft DNV-ST-E271 Certified Offshore Container is designed for the transportation, lifting and storage of cargo and equipment in demanding offshore and marine environments.

This model belongs to Offshore Containers → Offshore Cargo Containers and is suitable for offshore oil & gas, marine, offshore wind and energy projects.

Unlike a conventional ISO dry cargo container, this product incorporates structural and lifting features specifically intended for offshore handling.

DNV-ST-E271 Offshore Design

The container is manufactured in accordance with DNV-ST-E271, formerly referenced as DNV 2.7-1.

DNV-ST-E271 provides requirements and guidance for approval and certification of offshore containers and associated lifting sets, including requirements concerning manufacturing, testing, marking and periodic inspection.

Full 20ft Enclosed Cargo Configuration

The external dimensions are:

6058 × 2438 × 2591 mm.

The fully enclosed structure and double swing doors provide a practical configuration for offshore cargo including:

● Tools

● Spare parts

● Maintenance equipment

● General project cargo

● Suitable offshore equipment

14,850 kg Payload

The weight specifications are:

● Payload: 14,850 kg

● Tare Weight: 3,650 kg

Actual loading should remain within the certified limits and follow the approved cargo distribution, center-of-gravity and securing requirements for the individual unit.

Reinforced Offshore Structure

The container incorporates:

● Heavy-duty steel frame

● Reinforced corner posts

● Robust base frame

● Steel floor

● Four certified lifting pad eyes

● Forklift pockets

These features support offshore lifting and cargo transportation under the approved operating and certification conditions.

Four Certified Lifting Pad Eyes

The container includes four certified lifting pad eyes for offshore crane handling.

The lifting points form part of the certified offshore structure and should be used with the approved lifting arrangement and project lifting procedure.

A compatible sling set is available as an optional configuration.

Forklift Handling Capability

Forklift pockets are available, providing an additional handling option for appropriate shore-base, yard and logistics operations.

Marine Anti-Corrosion Coating

The surface-protection system consists of:

● Sa2.5 blast cleaning

● Zinc-rich epoxy primer

● Epoxy intermediate coat

● Polyurethane top coat

The container is designed for offshore environments involving salt spray, corrosion and demanding weather conditions.

No fixed maintenance interval or service-life figure should be stated unless supported by the approved coating specification and operating conditions.

Flexible Internal Customization

The 20ft Offshore Container can be customized with:

● Shelving

● Lighting

● Electrical systems

● Ventilation

● Insulation

● HVAC

● Customized internal layouts

● Various door configurations

These options allow the base offshore cargo container to be adapted for different project requirements.

Where the container is converted into a workshop, control room or other service module, the required electrical, fire, ventilation or hazardous-area standards should be separately reviewed for that application.

Application

The 20ft Offshore Container is designed for offshore logistics where cargo or equipment must be transported between shore facilities, vessels and offshore installations using a dedicated certified lifting structure.

Offshore Oil and Gas

Offshore oil and gas is one of the primary markets for this container.

Typical suitable cargo can include:

● Maintenance tools

● Spare parts

● Operational equipment

● Consumables

● General project cargo

Offshore Platforms

The product is suitable for transporting cargo between onshore facilities, supply vessels and offshore platforms.

The enclosed steel body provides protected cargo space while the certified pad-eye arrangement supports offshore crane handling.

Drilling Projects

Drilling sites are among the intended operating environments.

The container can provide a dedicated logistics unit for tools, parts and equipment required during drilling and maintenance activities.

Offshore Supply Vessels

Offshore containers are commonly used for transporting equipment between ships and fixed or floating offshore facilities.

Offshore Wind

Offshore wind and renewable-energy projects are suitable applications for offshore container solutions.

The container can be configured for appropriate tools, components, spare parts and maintenance equipment used in wind-farm installation and service projects.

Marine and Energy Projects

Marine and broader energy-sector projects are also included in the application range.

Project-specific internal layouts can be developed when standard empty cargo space does not meet the operational requirement.

Equipment Storage

In addition to transportation, the container can be used for equipment storage.

Shelving, insulation, lighting and ventilation can be selected where appropriate for the equipment being stored.

Customized Service Applications

The basic offshore container can be adapted for:

● Workshops

● Control rooms

● Specialized offshore applications

These should be treated as custom-engineered configurations, not as standard features of the base cargo container.

Service configurations such as workshops, laboratories and control modules may require additional safety requirements where relevant.

● External Dimensions: 6058 × 2438 × 2591 mm

● Payload: 14,850 kg

● Tare Weight: 3,650 kg

Final cargo loading should comply with the approved structural, weight-distribution and certification requirements.

3. What type of doors does the standard configuration use?

The exact specification should be agreed before production.

6. Can this container be converted into a workshop or control room?

The platform can be adapted for workshops, control rooms and other specialized offshore applications.

However, these are custom-engineered service configurations. Additional electrical, fire, ventilation or hazardous-area requirements may apply depending on the intended use, so the base DNV-ST-E271 cargo-container specification alone should not be treated as covering every installed system.

7. What is the design temperature?

The design temperature is -20°C.

Lower design temperatures are available according to project requirements, but one universal lower limit is not specified.

8. Is a CSC plate available?

CSC Plate: Optional.

CSC is therefore not automatically included on every unit. If CSC approval is required, it should be defined as part of the individual project's engineering and certification scope.

9. Is DNV 2.7-1 the same designation used on this product as DNV-ST-E271?

DNV 2.7-1 is retained as a legacy reference, while the applicable product standard is DNV-ST-E271.

For current technical product copy, DNV-ST-E271 Certified Offshore Container is therefore the preferred wording, while DNV 2.7-1 can remain as a legacy reference where useful.

● Other certification requirements

● RAL color

● Identification requirements

● Operating environment

● Delivery destination

Our engineering team can then develop the final 20ft Offshore Container configuration according to the actual cargo, operational and certification requirements.
