DNV Offshore Containers: Certified Safety for Harsh Marine Conditions

What Are DNV Offshore Containers?

DNV offshore containers are purpose-built shipping containers that meet strict international standards for offshore use, especially in oil, gas, and marine industries. DNV stands for “Det Norske Veritas,” a globally recognised body that certifies containers to handle high-risk environments.

Unlike standard shipping containers, these are designed for lifting, stacking, and storing cargo on offshore platforms and vessels—even during rough sea conditions.

At MCH United Kingdom, we supply fully compliant DNV 2.7-1 certified containers across the country, including custom builds for complex offshore operations.

Types of DNV Offshore Containers We Offer

Whether you’re operating on a rig, barge, or remote sea vessel, we have offshore container types to match every need.

Common types include:

  • DNV Storage Containers: Ideal for tools, spare parts, and general equipment
  • DNV Workshop Units: Mobile maintenance or welding stations
  • DNV Refrigerated Containers: For food, medicine, or temperature-sensitive goods
  • DNV Half Height Containers: Perfect for dense loads like pipes and cable reels
