What is a DNV refrigerated container?
La famille DNV frigorifique combine deux contraintes : la température dirigée et l’exploitation offshore. Elle concerne les marchandises sensibles qui doivent rester au froid dans un contexte de levage exigeant.
Read more
Le Reefer utilise un groupe froid actif, tandis que la logique DNV encadre les points de levage et les exigences offshore. Les deux dimensions doivent être vérifiées avant devis.
Le choix dépend de la température, du groupe froid, des documents et de la manutention. Ce format se chiffre uniquement après cadrage technique.

What is a used 20 ft Reefer DNV Offshore container?
This container is the pivotal format of the offshore refrigerated segment. "Reefer" refers to a refrigerated container with an active cooling unit, which generates and regulates cold. "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.
Read more
The inspected used structure is built on a forged aluminum alloy casing: this material lightens the unit while maintaining high strength, an advantage for intensive offshore use. The cooling unit regulates a range of −35 °C to +30 °C on a 380/460 V power supply, with a steel floor.
In the pivotal 20 ft format, the unit offers 28.1 m³ of usable volume (5.448 m × 2.284 m × 2.261 m) for a 9,820 kg payload; a load reduced by the reinforced offshore structural weight, the unit weighing 4,380 kg empty. This is the reference format for refrigerated operations on North Sea and North Atlantic oil platforms.
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)
- 2,280 m × 2,244 m
- Interior (L × W × H)
- 5,448 m × 2,284 m × 2,261 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.

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.

Why a Reefer container certified DNV 2.7-1?
The DNV 2.7-1 standard, current designation DNVGL-ST-E271, is issued by Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian maritime certification body. It sets the mandatory specifications for lifting by platform crane: fatigue tests, free-fall tests, unbalanced lift tests and lateral impact resistance tests. Without it, a container cannot be accepted by certified offshore cranes onto operating platforms.

The Reefer and DNV combination in the 20 ft format brings together three strengths: the Reefer's active thermal regulation, certified offshore resistance and the multi-item capacity of the pivotal format. The forged aluminum alloy casing lightens the whole while guaranteeing impact resistance in rough seas; a compromise built for offshore refrigerated transport.
Applications
