10ft DNV Offshore Container – Certified Units for Sale

A 10ft DNV Offshore Container is a specialised, heavy-duty cargo unit designed and certified for safe use in marine and offshore environments. Unlike standard shipping containers, DNV-certified units are manufactured under strict supervision by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), one of the world’s leading classification societies.

At Prime Trailers Australia, we offer new and used 10ft DNV offshore containers for sale. With over 26 years of experience, we supply these certified units to the Australian oil and gas industry, mining sector, marine logistics companies, helicopter transport operators, and offshore supply bases.

These containers are not for general road or rail freight. They are purpose-built for offshore platforms, drilling rigs, FPSO vessels (Floating Production Storage and Offloading), supply vessels, and helicopter lifts.

DNV Certification Explained

All containers supplied by Prime Trailers Australia come with valid DNV 2.7-1 certification plates and supporting documentation. This certification verifies that the container:

• Has been manufactured under DNV supervision

• Passed a prototype test for lifting and stacking

• Meets minimum safety factors for offshore use (typically 5:1 for lifting)

• Is traceable with a unique serial number and approved drawing reference

 Important: DNV certification is mandatory for any container lifted by crane onto an offshore facility in Australian waters. Non-certified containers will be rejected at the supply base.
