Built specifically for demanding marine and oilfield environments, our 10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half Height Open Top Offshore Container provides heavy-duty transport for pipework, drill tools, subsea gear, and dense cargo. Certified to both DNV 2.7-1 and BS EN 12079 standards, this low-profile open-top container (also known as an offshore cargo basket) features a removable tarpaulin cover, integrated lashing points, and swinging/removable rear headers for effortless overhead crane loading. Supplied fully tested with certified 4-leg wire rope lifting slings and shackles for immediate North Sea and global offshore deployment.

When transporting dense, high-weight cargo to offshore platforms, FPSOs, or subsea installations, traditional full-height containers add unnecessary tare weight and overhead clearance challenges. The 10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half Height Open Top Offshore Container is engineered specifically to tackle low-profile, heavy-density freight—such as drill collars, valves, pumps, casing accessories, and offshore waste skips.
Manufactured in full compliance with DNV GL 2.7-1, BS EN 12079, and ISO 10855 marine safety standards, each container undergoes rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT), load testing, and weld inspection prior to sign-off.

Effortless Top Loading: The 4ft 3in low-profile height combined with an open top structure allows crane operators and rigging crews to quickly load long or heavy items directly into the basket without side-wall obstruction.
Removable Rear Header: Features a hinged or fully removable door header bar, enabling horizontal loading for long pipe sections or tubular goods.
DNV Certified Pad Eyes: Heavy-duty, fully seal-welded lifting pad eyes integrated directly into the upper corner structure, batch-tested to withstand extreme dynamic offshore forces.
Pre-Slung Readiness: Shipped complete with a certified 4-leg wire rope sling assembly and safety bow shackles, fully traceable via individual DNV manufacturing certificates.
C5M Marine Coating: Coated in a multi-coat C5M marine paint system to resist salt spray, extreme UV, and chemical exposure in rough offshore environments.
Internal Tie-Down Points: Multiple internal flush-mounted lashing rings rated to secure heavy loads during high-sea transit.
Integrated Water Drainage: Fitted with floor drain plugs to prevent stagnant seawater or rainwater buildup inside the container cavity.
Offshore Traceability: Every unit is delivered with a complete Data Book—including Mill Test Certificates (MTC), NDT reports, Proof Load Test Certificates, and original DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 compliance paperwork.
Onshore Logistics: Shipped across the UK via flatbed or HIAB crane vehicle directly to supply bases (Aberdeen, Great Yarmouth, Peterhead, Heysham, etc.).
Stackability: Designed with integrated stacking corner castings and guide rails for safe stacking on quaysides and supply vessel decks.
Every unit is fully certified to DNV 2.7-1, BS EN 12079, and ISO 10855 international offshore standards. Units are supplied with complete manufacturing data books, NDT inspection reports, and sling load test certificates.
