What are Container Safety Convention (CSC) Certified Containers?
The Container Safety Convention (CSC) is the internationally adopted health and safety criteria to ensure the safety of all those involved in handling containers. Valid CSC plates are required for any shipping container used for ocean voyage transport.
Under the widely utilised Periodic Examination Scheme (PES), all new storage containers receive a CSC valid for five years. At the expiry of this period, used containers can have their CSC extended by a maximum of 30 months from the inspection date.
SEA Containers’s B grade used and refurbished shipping containers can be fitted with CSC plates at a customer’s request, valid for a standard 12 months (longer periods can be requested but are subject to container condition).
