A DNV container is a robust transport container designed and certified according to the strict DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 standards for use in the offshore industry.

This is the global industry standard for offshore containers, setting specific requirements for material strength, welding, lifting eyes, and dynamic shock loading.

ISO containers are engineered for land transport and shipping under mild conditions. They cannot safely withstand the extreme forces (such as drop impact and wave action) on an offshore platform or vessel.

Yes, thanks to their standard ISO corner castings and dimensions, they are fully interchangeable within the regular intermodal transport network.

In practice, these standards are largely harmonized; DNV 2.7-1 is the most widely applied and recognized practical standard in the offshore sector.

This is the official data plate showing both the ISO CSC data, the DNV certification status, and the lifting capacity.

By the official DNV certificate plate, the certified lifting ears, and the unique stampings from a recognized classification society (such as DNV or LR).

Every offshore container must be periodically inspected (usually every 12 months) by a certified inspector to ensure structural integrity.

Only high-grade structural steel that has been impact-tested at low temperatures (impact-tested steel) is used.

To absorb the extreme vertical dynamic forces when containers are lifted or stacked at sea.

Reinforced steel eyes welded to the frame and rated for multiple overloading during offshore lifting operations.

Yes, offshore containers are always lifted using a certified four-leg wire rope sling set combined with certified shackles.

An offshore refrigerated container features a reinforced DNV frame, ATEX-certified components, and enhanced corrosion protection.

Usually galvanized tear-plate steel or hardwood floors, depending on the container type and specific application.

By means of a heavy-duty offshore-grade paint treatment (multi-layer coating system with epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat) or by full hot-dip galvanizing.

This varies by type, but they are designed to be stacked multiple highs under dynamic conditions at sea.

An open container with a removable tarp or cover, ideal for loading oversized offshore equipment from the top.

A reduced-height container specially designed for heavy, compact loads such as drill pipes and heavy tools.

As a mobile workshop or office unit on drilling platforms, fully equipped with workbenches, power, and optional overpressure protection.

An open basket structure for the safe transport of smaller, loose goods and gas cylinders to offshore installations.

Yes, these are used for the safe transport of chemicals, fuels, or liquid drilling mud to offshore platforms.

A specially designed and certified frame for safely lifting and transporting industrial gas cylinders at sea.

Yes, for the temperature-controlled transport of food or sensitive chemicals to remote offshore locations.

Yes, they can be customized with lashing points, shelves, and special racks for safe transport.

A rigorous drop test where a container prototype is tested for impact resistance during a controlled fall..

Always check whether the wire rope slings and shackles have a valid inspection certificate and whether the sling angle falls within safe limits.

The maximum weight that the lifting eye may safely carry, including dynamic factors at sea.

No, unless they are specifically certified offshore living quarters that meet strict fire and pressure standards.

Through heavy lashing points welded to the inner walls and floor, designed to absorb extreme swaying at sea.

A special frame for transporting anchors and heavy offshore anchor lines.

Yes, we supply both certified new (one-trip) and used DNV containers directly from stock.

Yes, flexible rental options are available for both short- and long-term offshore projects.

All our DNV containers are delivered with a valid DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 certificate and load test report.

Thanks to our strategic stock in the Rotterdam region, we can deliver quickly within Europe and ship worldwide.

Yes, we can equip containers with customer-specific colors, logos, and markings upon request.

Upon request, we can directly supply certified wire rope sling sets.

You can easily contact us via our website or submit a request directly by email with your desired specifications.

We ensure that all outgoing containers are fully certified and inspected for immediate use.

Yes, all our units fully comply with the stringent requirements applicable on the Dutch, British, and Norwegian offshore continental shelves.

Our specialists at Wilbert Trading B.V. are happy to advise you on the correct dimensions, types, and certification for your project.
