When transporting goods in offshore or high-risk environments, DNV offshore containers offer unmatched safety and compliance. At MCH United Kingdom, we specialise in supplying certified cargo units built to withstand marine pressure, corrosion, and heavy handling.
Furthermore, our range meets international safety and structural codes — ideal for oil platforms, gas fields, and subsea projects across United Kingdom.
Industries That Rely on Marine-Grade Cargo Units
Our offshore transport containers are trusted across sectors that demand compliance, strength, and reliability:
Oil & Gas: Tool containers, waste bins, chemical storage for drilling platforms.
Energy: Equipment transport to offshore wind farms or tidal energy stations.
Marine & Subsea: ROV modules, diving systems, and cable storage.
Defence & Government: Secure mobile storage with regulatory compliance.
Moreover, their corrosion-resistant coating and heavy-duty build make them suitable for harsh coastal regions like WA’s northwest or the Bass Strait.
What Are DNV Certified Offshore Containers?
DNV stands for Det Norske Veritas, a global certification authority. A DNV certified container is purpose-built and independently tested for extreme offshore use. These containers meet DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 standards.
Additionally, they are fitted with certified lifting slings, shackles, and robust frames. This ensures structural integrity during crane lifts, ship loading, or platform deployment.
For example, containers may be used to transport chemicals, tools, equipment, or spare parts to floating rigs or support vessels.
