Wind & Watertight containers have completed multiple ocean voyages. They are structurally sound and weatherproof — but they look like it. Furthermore, Direct Ship units ship straight from the container depot without cosmetic preparation. As a result, buyers should expect the following:
| Feature | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Exterior Rust | Surface rust present — does not affect structural integrity |
| Dents and Dings | Minor dents from handling — cosmetic only |
| Floor Condition | Scratches, scrapes, and wear marks from cargo loading |
| Patches | Possible — standard repair method for minor steel damage |
| Odour | Possible residual odour from previous cargo |
| Colour | Varies — original shipping line paint, not repainted before sale |
| Weatherproof Seal | Intact — door gaskets seal against wind and water |
| Structural Integrity | Sound — passes Wind & Watertight inspection |
Bottom line: the cosmetics are used. The structure and weatherproof seal are not.
Direct Ship containers bypass our fabrication facility and ship straight from the container depot. Furthermore, this eliminates the double-handling cost between depot, workshop, and delivery — reducing your total purchase price. As a result, Direct Ship is the lowest-cost path to a Wind & Watertight 40ft High Cube container.
Note: Because Direct Ship units bypass our fabrication facility, they are not available for custom modifications — windows, doors, insulation, partitions, or electrical fit-out. Additionally, colour selection is not available — units ship in their original factory colour. If modifications or a specific colour are required, contact us to discuss our standard modified container range.
