Offshore Container

Offshore containers are specialized containers designed specifically for transportation, storage, and operations in extreme marine environments. Unlike standard shipping containers, they are engineered to withstand the unique challenges of sea transport, such as rough handling and corrosive conditions, ensuring durability, safety, and compliance. The offshore industry presents some of the most challenging environments for equipment storage and transport. From corrosive saltwater to extreme weather conditions, conventional container solutions simply don’t cut it. Offshore containers serve as the backbone for logistics in oil and gas operations, providing enhanced protection for valuable equipment and materials.

Offshore containers utilize high-grade steel—typically S355J2+N or equivalent—and feature reinforced frames and corner castings designed to handle the dynamic loads experienced during offshore lifting operations. They incorporate specialized coatings and materials that withstand prolonged exposure to saltwater and harsh weather conditions. Strict compliance with industry standards like DNV 2.7-1, ISO 10855, and IMO regulations ensures operational safety and personnel protection.

Modern offshore containers offer extensive customization options, including integrated insulation, specialized HVAC configurations, and explosion-proof electrical systems tailored to clients’ disparate operational requirements. Beyond basic storage, these containers can serve as workshops, living quarters, chemical storage units, and specialized equipment housings. The modular design optimizes the space and decreases maintenance costs.

Cargo Carrying Units (CCUs) & Specialized Containers

• CCUs represent the workhorses of offshore logistics—robust units designed to transport equipment, tools, and supplies safely.
• Variations include Basket containers for pipes and tools, and Half-height containers for heavy equipment.
• For temperature-sensitive goods, Offshore reefer containers provide advanced cooling systems.
• KESMI ensures every container is rigorously tested for load capacity and structural integrity (such as 4-point lift tests) before deployment, meeting DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 standards.
