Indonesia
An Offshore DNV Container is a DNV 2.7-1-certified container engineered specifically for offshore environments, from oil drilling rigs and FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessels to renewable energy platforms and supply ships operating on open water.
These containers are used by energy companies, oil and gas operators, maritime contractors, and offshore service providers that require cargo storage and transport solutions that are not only structurally robust but also legally and operationally compliant. The DNV 2.7-1 certificate is issued by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), a Norwegian international classification body recognised globally as an authority on safety in the maritime and energy industries.
Det Norske Veritas has been in operation for over 150 years. The organisation establishes technical standards for the safety of life, property, and the environment across the maritime, oil and gas, and renewable energy sectors. The DNV 2.7-1 standard specifically governs the design, fabrication, testing, and certification requirements for containers used in offshore operations.
Offshore DNV Containers are mandatory in most offshore operations because they are built to withstand dynamic loads, extreme weather, the corrosive effects of seawater, and the lifting operations between vessels and platforms, safely and reliably.
It is worth noting that Offshore DNV Containers are engineered from the ground up with far harsher environmental conditions in mind than standard logistics containers. This goes beyond certification: every stage of design, material selection, welding, and testing follows the rigorous requirements of DNV 2.7-1.
In short, where ISO containers are built for stable and predictable logistics, Offshore DNV Containers are built for conditions that are anything but, high waves, strong winds, constantly shifting platform movement, and seawater that slowly degrades steel.
The applications of offshore DNV containers extend well beyond a “storage box at sea.” Below are the real-world use cases actively in service across major industries.
Oil and Gas (Migas)
This is the primary industry driving demand for offshore DNV containers. Applications include:
- Storage and transport of drilling equipment between rigs
- Safe containment of chemicals, hazardous materials, and fuel
- Mechanical and electrical workshop units on platforms
- Storage of critical spare parts sensitive to humidity and seawater exposure
- Waste disposal units compliant with offshore environmental regulations
Renewable Energy
As offshore wind farms continue to grow worldwide, demand for offshore DNV containers in this sector is increasing steadily:
- Transport of wind turbine components from port to offshore installation sites
- Storage of maintenance equipment and operational tools
- Mobile power units supporting platform operations during the construction phase
Maritime Operations and Offshore Construction
- Delivery of materials and equipment to remote platforms
- Temporary field offices ready for immediate use
- Laboratory units for material and sample testing
- Managed construction waste disposal units

Types of Offshore DNV Container
Several types of Offshore DNV Container exist, each designed for a specific function and operational condition. Choosing the right type directly determines project efficiency, safety, and cost on the ground.
1. General Purpose Container
The General Purpose Offshore DNV Container is the most common unit deployed in offshore operations. It is designed specifically for transporting and storing dry cargo to and from offshore installations, tools, spare parts, machinery, and other essential operational supplies. Available in 20 feet.
2. Mini DNV Container
The Mini DNV Container is well-suited for projects with limited deck space. Despite its compact size, it is fully robust and safe for offshore use. Some units are fitted with internal racking and a cargo safety net for load security during lifting. Available in 9.5 feet, 10 feet, and 10.5 feet.
3. Open Top Container
The Open Top DNV Offshore Container is designed for cargo that is oversized, tall, or requires top-loading and top-unloading. Like all DNV-certified containers, the unit is equipped with forklift pockets, padeyes, protective bars, and locking bars. Available in 20 feet.
4. Half-Height Container
Similar in purpose to the General Purpose Container but shorter and without a hard roof. The Half-Height Container is ideal for transporting heavy equipment and tools to offshore locations. Some units can be fitted with a tarpaulin cover for cargo protection. Available in 20 feet.
5. Cutting Box Container
The Cutting Box Container is purpose-built for the safe storage, containment, and transfer of drilling waste from offshore operations. With dimensions of 7’10” in length, 5’6″ in width, and 4’2″ in height, this type of Offshore DNV Container features a securely lockable top cover. Padeyes and forklift pockets ensure safe and efficient handling throughout the transfer process.
6. Waste Skip Container
The Waste Skip Container is used for the storage and transport of general non-hazardous waste to and from offshore platforms, including food waste and recyclable materials. It is also known as the “DNV Boat Rubbish Skip.” The open top design allows for fast, unobstructed waste loading.
7. Tool Box Container
A heavy-duty container designed for the storage and transport of offshore equipment. The Tool Box Container features a full-length side door and a top cover for easy access and efficient loading. Available in 2 metres, or approximately 6.7 feet.
8. Basket Container
The Basket Container features an open basket design engineered for the delivery and storage of offshore equipment. Available in a range of sizes: 4 feet, 8 feet (drum basket), 12 feet, and 14.3 feet. All units are built to DNV 2.7-1 to meet the stringent requirements of the offshore industry.
9. Offshore Refrigerated Container
The Offshore Refrigerated Container provides a solution for the transport and storage of temperature-sensitive cargo during offshore projects. Units can be fitted with a refrigeration system calibrated to the required operating temperature. Available in 20 feet.
10. Lifting Frame Container
The Lifting Frame Container is used specifically for lifting and transferring large, heavy equipment between offshore platforms and vessels, including drilling rigs, pumps, and generators. It is the most appropriate lifting solution for equipment that cannot be placed inside a standard container. Available in 10 feet.
Specifications of Offshore DNV Container
The 10-foot and 20-foot sizes are the standard configurations applied across the Offshore DNV Container range. General specifications for both units are as follows.
|
Specification |
10′ Offshore DNV Container |
20′ Offshore DNV Container |
| Outer Length | 2,991 mm | 6,058 mm |
| Outer Width | 2,438 mm | 2,438 mm |
| Outer Height | 2,591 mm | 2,591 mm |
| Certification | DNV 2.7-1 | DNV 2.7-1 |
| Lifting Points | Welded Padeye | Welded Padeye |
| Testing | Dynamic load test, drop test, weld test | Dynamic load test, drop test, weld test |
The 10-foot Offshore DNV Container is best suited for operations requiring high mobility in confined spaces, on smaller supply vessels or narrow deck zones on platforms. Its compact weight and dimensions make it easy to reposition in areas inaccessible to the 20-foot unit.
The 20-foot Offshore DNV Container is the standard choice for larger cargo capacity. Its dimensions also make it the ideal base unit for customisation as a service container, from workshops to control rooms, given the greater interior space available for equipment installation.
How DNV Containers Differ from ISO Containers

| Certification | DNV 2.7-1 | ISO 668, CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) |
| Load Design | Dynamic loads (waves, vibration, platform movement) | Static loads (container stacking, land transit) |
| Frame and Steel | Reinforced, thicker steel, strengthened corners | Standard, per ISO specification |
| Lifting System | Welded padeye with certified sling set | Corner casting |
| Inspection Frequency | Every 30 months or per project | Every 5 years (CSC) |
| Durability | Very high, built for extreme environments | Adequate for standard shipping conditions |
When to Use DNV vs. When to Use ISO
|
Use an Offshore DNV Container When… |
Use an ISO Container When… |
| High-risk offshore or maritime operations | Standard cargo on global shipping lanes |
| Lifting over water to a moving platform | Static loads with minimal handling |
| DNV 2.7-1 compliance is required by the operator or insurer | ISO 668 / CSC certification is sufficient |
| Corrosive environment with intense seawater exposure | Land or sea transport under normal weather conditions |
| Dual certification (DNV + CSC) is required | Standard intermodal logistics |
