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.

What is a new 20ft DNV Offshore shipping container?
This container is the pivot maritime format in the offshore segment. "DNV Offshore" means it is certified DNV 2.7-1, the mandatory standard for handling at sea. The "first-trip" designation means it is a new unit, straight from the factory after a single positioning journey. The standard 8'6" (2.591 m) height accommodates all standardized offshore equipment.

It is the benchmark format for North Sea operations: operating oil platforms, offshore wind farms, supply vessels. The new structure combines a Corten steel box, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, fully welded, and a steel floor.
The lifting equipment is complete: reinforced chassis, anti-slip pads on the underside, forged steel rings standardized to DNV, and a spreader bar, the lifting beam that distributes the load across the four corners, included, compatible with every DNV-certified crane.
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.

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.

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, now designated DNVGL-ST-E271, is issued by Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian maritime certification body. It is the mandatory requirement for access to certified offshore cranes: major operators (TotalEnergies, Equinor, Shell, BP for oil and gas, Vestas and Siemens Gamesa for offshore wind) refuse to bring anything on board without a valid certificate.

The standard covers severe tests: cyclic fatigue of the lifting rings, free fall from 1.2 m onto a hard surface, unbalanced lifting simulating crane sway in rough seas, resistance to side impacts against a hull or platform structure. The European EN 12079 standard provides the complementary compliance.
The 20ft pivot format adds volume: 32.54 m³ of usable space fits a variety of offshore packaging, consumables, bulky spare parts, technical equipment, in a single maritime transit to the platform.
