A Cargo Carrying Unit (CCU) container differs from a standard shipping container in that it is specifically designed for offshore operations. While shipping containers are ISO certified, CCU containers must be both ISO and DNV certified to ensure their suitability for the demanding offshore environment.
The oil and gas industry relies on CCU containers for their strength and durability to withstand impacts during transfers from ships to offshore platforms. Offshore operations are exposed to high-risk conditions such as extreme weather, rough seas and limited space, which increase the likelihood of accidents and incidents. CCU containers play an essential role in minimizing these risks.
When used in offshore operations, CCU containers offer many advantages, including safety, time efficiency and cost savings. These DNV-certified offshore containers ensure safe cargo transport in extreme weather and corrosive environments thanks to reinforced structures, special lifting points and reliable locking systems. They also significantly reduce storage and transportation costs by enabling faster and more efficient cargo handling.
If you need ISO and DNV certified CCU containers, Tradecorp offers a wide range to meet your needs. Available types include mini, general purpose, basket, half height, toolbox, lifting frame, open side, drum basket, cutting skip, special frame, waste skip, tank, test cabin, high cube, accommodation, bottle rack, mud cutting box, open top and refrigerated units.
