10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half Height Open Top Containers

Engineered for the demanding world of offshore operations, the 10ft DNV 2.7-1 half height open top container is a purpose-built solution for moving heavy or bulky materials safely. Standing roughly half the height of a standard container and topped by an open design with no steel roof, it makes loading and unloading bulk cargo straightforward while keeping the center of gravity low. Constructed from durable Corten steel and certified to offshore standards, it’s ready for the harshest working environments.

Low Profile, High Capability

The half-height format is the key advantage here. By sitting twice as low as a standard box, this open top container is ideal for dense, heavy loads and for jobs where crane clearance or tipping is a concern. The open top allows materials to be dropped in or lifted out directly from above, while a single swing steel door provides convenient ground-level access. Note that the unit ships without roof bows or tarp, keeping the open-top design fully accessible.

Certified for Offshore Lifting and Stacking

Safety and compliance are built in. The container conforms to DNV 2.7-1, EN 12079, and ISO/CSC standards, the benchmarks for offshore containers and lifting appliances, so it meets the certification demands of rig and vessel operators. DNV-certified slings are available for secure lifting and handling, and the stackable design lets you make the most of limited deck or yard space.

When selecting an offshore container, verify that the certifications match your site or operator requirements and confirm that your intended load stays within the 10,000 kg payload limit. If you plan to lift the unit, order the DNV-certified slings to keep the lifting setup fully compliant. Inspect the door, corner castings, and lifting points on arrival.
