As they are often used in offshore environments and are subject to seawater erosion and humid air, offshore basket containers are usually made of high-strength corrosion-resistant steel, such as weathering steel or stainless steel, to ensure that the box structure can remain stable for a long time in harsh marine environments and prevent structural damage caused by rust and corrosion.
Its shape is generally square, but the corners and edges are rounded to reduce the resistance when hit by waves during maritime transportation and improve the stability and wind and wave resistance of the container. At the same time, this design can also prevent damage caused by collisions between containers to a certain extent.
In order to withstand various external forces during maritime transportation and operations, including wave impact and ship sway, offshore basket containers have a reinforced frame structure. The beams and columns of the frame are made of thicker and stronger steel, and the lifting rings are thickened and welded, connected by a special welding process to form a stable overall frame that can effectively disperse and withstand external pressure.
It does not have a closed top plate, which is suitable for transporting larger goods and can meet the needs of offshore oil platforms for the transportation of large equipment. During the loading and unloading process, large goods can be directly lifted in or out from the top by lifting equipment, without the need to load and unload from the side like ordinary containers, which greatly improves the loading and unloading efficiency.
Due to frequent use in the marine environment, the surface of the offshore basket container has been specially painted or made of corrosion-resistant materials, which has good corrosion resistance and can effectively prevent metal components from being severely corroded in the marine environment, extending the service life of the container and reducing maintenance costs.
Lifting devices such as lifting ears are usually fixed on the side of the box. The position and structure of these lifting ears are reasonably designed and can be used in conjunction with lifting equipment such as slings to conveniently and quickly lift or lower the container and its loaded goods from the ship, realizing efficient cargo transfer between marine transportation and offshore platforms.
The production and certification of offshore basket containers need to meet a series of strict requirements and standards such as DNV2.7-1. These standards cover all aspects such as design, manufacturing, inspection and testing, ensuring the quality and safety of the containers so that they can be used reliably in harsh marine environments.

DNV2.7-1/2/3.
They are usually made of high-strength corrosion-resistant steel, such as weathering steel or stainless steel, ensuring the structure remains stable in harsh marine environments and prevents damage from rust.
The rounded corners and edges reduce wave resistance during maritime transportation, enhance container stability against wind and waves, and help prevent collision damage between containers.
Thickened and welded lifting ears on the side of the box are designed to work seamlessly with slings and lifting equipment, enabling quick lifting or lowering of the container between ships and offshore platforms.
