What is a DNV 2.7-1 container?
La famille DNV regroupe les conteneurs destinés aux opérations offshore. Elle répond aux contraintes de levage, de manutention et de documentation en environnement marin.
DNV 2.7-1 est une norme dédiée aux unités offshore levées en mer. Elle encadre la conception, les points de levage et les exigences de sécurité.
Le choix dépend du format, de la charge, des documents disponibles et du contexte d’exploitation. Ces éléments doivent être validés avant devis.

In detail
What is a used 20 ft DNV Offshore container?
This container is the pivotal maritime format of the offshore segment. "DNV Offshore" means it is certified DNV 2.7-1, the mandatory standard for handling at sea. The term "used" means it is an inspected used unit, sourced from a used fleet that is inspected before being put back on sale. The standard 8'6" (2.591 m) height accommodates all standardized offshore equipment.

This is the reference format for North Sea operations: operating oil platforms, offshore wind farms, supply vessels. The inspected used structure combines a Corten steel casing, a weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, fully welded to absorb the impacts of handling in rough seas, and a steel floor.
The lifting equipment is complete: reinforced frame, anti-slip pads on the underside, forged steel rings standardized to DNV, and a spreader bar, the lifting yoke that distributes the load across the four corners, included, compatible with all DNV-certified cranes.
For a Used version, National Conteneur uses this technical base as a reference, then qualifies each unit according to its actual condition: structure, weatherproofing, doors, floor, markings, documents and equipment specific to the product family. The technical information therefore remains that of the model, while cosmetic condition, availability and certificates depend on the batch offered.
Check the loaded dimensions
Record the dimensions and mass of the largest item, including its support and packaging. Specify the handling equipment and access needed to load, unload and work on the contents.

- Door opening (W × H)
- 2,338 m × 2,253 m
- Interior (L × W × H)
- 5,896 m × 2,346 m × 2,352 m
Use the internal dimensions to plan the load or equipment layout. Allow the clearances needed for movement, handling and maintenance for your intended use.
Mass and load distribution
Check total mass, point loads, load distribution and handling equipment compatibility. Available volume does not determine permissible load: reference masses are listed in the technical specifications.

Exterior dimensions and installation
- Exterior (L × W × H)

These dimensions describe the container envelope. Door movements, connections and servicing may require additional space around the unit.
The unloading area depends on the vehicle and lifting method. It must be assessed separately from the container’s final position.

Read the dimensions guideLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
In detail
Why a DNV 2.7-1 certified container?
The DNV 2.7-1 standard, current designation DNVGL-ST-E271, is issued by Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian maritime certification body. This is the mandatory condition for access to certified offshore cranes: major operators (TotalEnergies, Equinor, Shell, BP for oil and gas, Vestas and Siemens Gamesa for offshore wind) refuse any loading without a valid certificate.
Read more
The standard covers severe tests: cyclic fatigue of the lifting rings, free fall from 1.2 m onto a hard surface, unbalanced lift simulating crane sway in rough seas, resistance to lateral impacts against a hull or platform structure. The European standard EN 12079 provides the complementary compliance.
The pivotal 20 ft format adds volume: 32.54 m³ of usable space makes it possible to fit a variety of offshore packaging, consumables, bulky spare parts, technical equipment, in a single maritime transit to the platform.
