Description
The 10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half-Height Open Top Offshore from Atlas Container Supply is a top-quality, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.
This 10ft DNV 2.7-1 half-height open top offshore container is purpose-built for offshore platform, vessel, and subsea support operations — the most technically specified container in our range, carrying triple certification to DNV 2.7-1, EN 12079, and ISO/CSC standards. It is fundamentally different in design, certification, and application from the standard ISO shipping containers and modified units throughout the rest of our product range. At an external height of just 1,280mm (4ft 2in) and an internal height of 959mm (3ft 2in), this is a purpose-designed half-height unit intended for low-profile deck stacking on offshore platforms and vessel decks where headroom and center-of-gravity constraints demand a lower profile than a standard-height container.
The open top construction with no roof, no bows, and no tarpaulin — unlike the open top containers in our standard range which include removable bows and a weatherproof tarpaulin — provides a completely exposed top opening suited to crane loading of awkwardly shaped or taller equipment that cannot be loaded through a side or end door on a half-height unit. The single swing steel door on one end provides the primary access point for loading and unloading at ground or deck level. Door opening height is not confirmed — verify with Atlas Container Supply before ordering if specific equipment clearance through the door is a requirement.
DNV 2.7-1 certification is the primary offshore container standard issued by DNV (formerly Det Norske Veritas), confirming the container has been designed, fabricated, and tested to withstand the dynamic loads associated with offshore crane lifts — including suspended load impacts, vessel motion, and sea spray exposure. EN 12079 is the European equivalent standard for offshore containers. ISO/CSC certification confirms the unit meets international shipping container safety requirements for general freight use in addition to offshore operations. The container is equipped with DNV-certified slings for safe offshore crane lifting, meeting the lifting point and load distribution requirements of the DNV 2.7-1 standard. The unit is stackable and constructed from high-strength COR-TEN weathering steel throughout. For guidance on offshore container compliance and BSEE or USCG requirements for offshore operations in US waters, consult a qualified offshore safety professional before deployment.

Ideal Uses
The 10ft DNV 2.7-1 Half-Height Open Top Offshore is a versatile open top container suited to a wide range of jobs, including:
- Top-loading of tall or bulky cargo
- Crane-loaded machinery and scrap
- Project and construction logistics
Construction & Durability
The 10ft open-top container is built from factory-fresh one-trip steel — corrugated Corten panels that weather to a stable oxide layer instead of rusting through. Corner castings are forged and welded to the rails, so it can be lifted, stacked, and relocated without the frame racking out of square.
Delivery & Site Preparation
We ship the 10ft open-top container across the Lower 48 on a tilt-bed at no charge to you. A short unit like this drops into tight yards and side lots that a 40ft delivery could never reach. Have the drop zone marked and clear on the day — the driver sets it once, and moving it afterwards means another truck.
Why Buy From Atlas Container Supply
Buying new means you see no wear at all: no dents, no patch welds, no previous cargo. We inspect, then we list — no surprises on delivery day, and 30 days to return it if it is not right. More options in 8ft x 10ft Containers and the full container shop.
