Description
The 10ft DNV 2.7-1 Dry Offshore Container is a heavy-duty, certified cargo unit designed specifically for the offshore oil, gas, and renewable energy industries. Unlike standard ISO shipping containers, this container is built with stronger steel, reinforced corner castings, and certified lifting points to withstand the harshest marine and offshore environments.
At Prime Trailers Australia, we supply DNV-certified offshore containers for sale to Australian businesses operating on rigs, platforms, vessels, and remote coastal facilities. These units are not intended for general onshore storage (e.g., backyard sheds or farms). They are purpose‑built for industrial offshore logistics where safety, traceability, and certification are mandatory.
All our DNV offshore containers comply with DNV 2.7-1, EN 12079, ISO 1161, and CSC standards, and are supplied with full production and test certification upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use a DNV offshore container on my farm or construction site?
Technically yes, but it is not cost‑effective. DNV containers are much heavier and more expensive than standard dry containers. For onshore use, we recommend a standard 10ft or 20ft shipping container.
Do all DNV containers come with certified slings?
No. Slings are not always included. You must state at the time of enquiry if slings are essential. If slings are included, we will provide test certification.
Can I ship this container by ocean freight as a standard ISO unit?
Not typically. DNV containers are designed for deck cargo and offshore lifts, not for stacking in standard container ship cells. Please confirm your specific logistics requirements with our team.
Do you provide DNV certification documents?
Yes – for every new container and for used containers where the original documentation is available. Always request certification before ordering.
