Offshore Containers
Offshore containers are purpose-built to withstand the harsh conditions found at sea, offering a safe and durable solution for offshore storage and transportation.
Engineered for long-term use in demanding marine environments, every unit is manufactured to meet offshore standards, including the ability to comply with DNV 2.7-1 certification.
Key Features
- Offshore certified design built to meet offshore standards including DNV 2.7-1 compliance.
- Reinforced steel construction using thicker, strengthened steel for extreme marine conditions.
- Integrated lockbox providing added security for valuable offshore equipment.
- Heavy-duty steel flooring designed to support high loads from tools and machinery.
- Marine-grade paint system offering corrosion-resistant protection for long-term offshore use.
Details
Constructed from thicker, reinforced steel, offshore containers are heavier and stronger than standard ISO containers.
This strengthened design ensures exceptional durability, even in severe weather and corrosive offshore conditions. Available in 10ft and 20ft lengths, these containers are popular across offshore industries thanks to their practical dimensions, robust construction and proven performance at sea.
Oil, Gas & Marine Operations
Our offshore containers are widely used across the oil, gas, renewables, and marine sectors, providing reliable storage and transport for equipment, tools and materials.
Each unit is packed with specialist features to support safe lifting, secure storage and long-term reliability in extreme environments. Heavy-duty lifting slings are integrated into the design, enabling safe crane handling during offshore loading, transport and deployment. Their reinforced construction and certification make them suitable for offshore platforms, vessels and coastal facilities where standard containers are not sufficient.
Whether you require a single offshore container or a fleet of units, our team can supply containers to meet your operational requirements.
View Our Latest Offshore Container Projects
Our recent offshore container projects demonstrate what’s possible when units are engineered to offshore standards, delivering robust, certified solutions for storage and transport across oil, gas, marine, and renewable energy environments.
Ventus Energy
We modified a 10ft and 20ft Shipping Container to become COSHH stores for the electrical engineering company.
Offshore Energy Limited (OEL)
We created two bespoke units from 20ft containers for the energy company to use offshore as an office and workshop.
Offshore Generator Housing
We were tasked by a renewable energy firm to modify a 20ft standard height new (one trip) container so that it could be used at sea to safely house a generator.

FAQ
An offshore container is a purpose-built storage and transport unit designed for use in harsh marine and offshore environments. They are commonly used in oil, gas, renewable energy, and marine operations to safely store and transport tools, equipment, and materials where standard shipping containers are not suitable.
Offshore containers are stronger, heavier, and more durable than standard ISO shipping containers. They are constructed from thicker, reinforced steel and engineered to withstand severe weather, heavy lifting, and corrosive offshore conditions. Unlike standard containers, offshore units are designed specifically for crane lifting and long-term offshore use.
Offshore containers are manufactured to meet offshore standards and can be supplied to comply with DNV 2.7-1 certification, which is widely required for offshore lifting and transport. This certification ensures the container has been tested for strength, safety, and suitability for offshore environments, including lifting from vessels and platforms.
Offshore containers are widely used across oil and gas, offshore wind and renewables, marine engineering, shipping, and coastal operations. Their reinforced construction and lifting capabilities make them suitable for offshore platforms, vessels, ports, and coastal facilities where safety and durability are critical.
Offshore containers are commonly available in 10ft and 20ft sizes, offering practical dimensions for offshore transport and storage. These sizes balance capacity with ease of handling and are compatible with offshore cranes, vessels, and platform layouts.
Yes, offshore containers are specifically designed for safe crane lifting in offshore environments. They feature integrated heavy-duty lifting slings and reinforced lifting points, allowing secure handling during offshore loading, transport, and deployment — even in challenging marine conditions.
