In Service Container

If your container is already in use, regular inspections are not optional—they are mandatory. Without them, you risk:

• 🚫 Delays at ports

• 🚫 Costly fines or rejected shipments

• 🚫 Safety hazards and potential accidents

At HTT, we make sure your containers meet every requirement—onshore, offshore, and internationally.

Three Types of In-Service Inspections :

1. CSC Inspections (Convention for Safe Containers)

• Required for international transport

• Valid for 5 years from manufacture, then:

  • First re-inspection within 5 years

  • Every 30 months thereafter

• Ensures container is safe and defect-free
  💡 We perform CSC inspections directly at your location for full compliance.

2. Offshore Container Inspections (NEN-EN-ISO 10855-3:2018)

• Annual visual inspections of markings, welds, lifting eyes, doors, and floors

• NDT methods (Magnetic, Eddy Current, Penetrant) on lifting eyes and welds

• Load tests when repairs or modifications are made

3. Onshore Container Inspections

• For containers and frames used on land

• Ensures compliance with local safety standards

⚠️ Important: Don’t just look at the destination—consider the entire transport route.
For example, an offshore container shipped from Amsterdam to Barcelona may require both CSC and offshore inspections.
