Yes, you can be assured that these containers (regardless of new or used) are of CW condition, used for international shipping purposes.

The lifespan of a container depends on factors like usage, maintenance, and climate. Typically, a standard shipping container serves its shipping purpose effectively for about 10 to 15 years before being retired. It’s noteworthy that the container’s CSC plate (Container Safety Convention plate) necessitates renewal every 5 years to uphold safety standards.

Once retired, a shipping container can be recycled through melting down or repurposed into innovative structures like shipping container homes or portable offices using container modification techniques. With proper maintenance, containers that have been repurposed can enjoy extended lifespans, contributing to sustainable and creative solutions for diverse applications.

A CSC (Container Safety Convention) survey is an inspection conducted to ensure that a shipping container meets safety standards for international transportation. The survey includes structural integrity, safety features, and proper functioning of doors and fittings. CSC certification indicates that the container is suitable for shipping and provides assurance of its safety during transit.

If you need the CSC survey and certification for your container purchase, please contact our sales team for further information.

A Cargo-Worthy (CW) report, also known as a Cargo-Worthy Certificate, is issued after a container passes a thorough inspection confirming its fitness for international cargo transport. It certifies that the container meets the necessary standards for safe shipping and is in good condition to protect goods during transit. This report is essential for using containers in global trade.

If you need the CW report for your container purchase, please contact our sales team for further information.
