As defined by the international Maritime Organization an offshore containers is a “portable unit, specially designed for repeated use in the transport of goods or equipment to from or between fixed and/or floating offshore installations and ships”.

Exposure to harsh environments.
 
Most of the ISO shipping containers sometimes also known as sea containers are made from the weathering steel commonly called as the “Cor-ten” steel, This is a type of steel that is corrosion resistant mainly utilized within different industries in which exposed steel sections are needed such as building sculptures, facades, and panels.
 
Unlike ISO containers, DNV2.7-1 offshore containers are often left exposed to open seas on the decks of supply vessels and loaded to platforms in harsh weather conditions. Therefore, the primary structure requires material of enough toughness to withstand minus 20 degree Celsius.
