Offshore Container: A "Specialized Functional Carrier" for Offshore Engineering Scenarios

Do you know how tools and supplies on offshore oil and gas platforms are safely stored and transported? The answer is the offshore container — a specialized container designed exclusively for offshore engineering. Unlike standard freight containers, it is a must-have piece of equipment for offshore operations.

Such containers must comply with offshore engineering standards including DNV 2.7-1/2.7-3. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant steel and equipped with explosion-proof/positive pressure systems, they are suitable for harsh operating conditions such as salt spray, wind and waves, and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Classified by function into tool containers, storage tank containers, explosion-proof control cabins, etc., their core purpose is to enable standardized storage and transportation as well as rapid deployment of offshore supplies, while meeting environmental protection and safety compliance requirements.

Currently, the global offshore container market exceeds USD 2 billion in size. Leveraging their strengths in customization and cost efficiency, Chinese enterprises hold 35% of the international market share. From oil and gas platforms to wind power operation and maintenance, offshore containers have evolved into a core carrier for the modularization of offshore equipment and the optimization of operational efficiency, serving as an indispensable mobile functional unit for distant offshore operations.
