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 new 20ft Reefer DNV Offshore shipping container?
This container is the pivot format in the offshore refrigerated segment. "Reefer" refers to a refrigerated container with an active cooling unit that produces and regulates cold. "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.
Read more
The new structure is built on a box made of forged aluminum alloy: this material lightens the unit while retaining high strength, an advantage for intensive offshore use. The cooling unit regulates a range from −35 °C to +30 °C, powered by 400 V 50 Hz - Three-phase 3P + N - 4-pin male plug - 32A - cable about 10 m, with a steel floor.
In the 20ft pivot format, the unit offers 28.1 m³ of usable volume (5.448 m × 2.284 m × 2.261 m) for 9,820 kg of payload; a reduced load due to the reinforced offshore structural weight, the unit weighing 4,380 kg empty. It is the benchmark format for refrigerated operations on North Sea and North Atlantic oil platforms.
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)

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.

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 DNV 2.7-1 certified Reefer container?
The DNV 2.7-1 standard, now designated 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, free-fall, unbalanced-lifting, and side-impact resistance tests. Without it, a container cannot be transferred by certified offshore cranes to operating platforms.

The Reefer and DNV combination in the 20ft format brings together three strengths: the Reefer's active thermal regulation, certified offshore resistance, and the multi-purpose capacity of the pivot format. The forged aluminum alloy box lightens the whole while guaranteeing resistance to impacts in rough seas; a compromise built for offshore refrigerated transport.
Applications
Keeping your products at the right temperature with a new 20ft DNV Reefer
