20 ft Shipping Container – Blue, Corten Steel, CSC Plated, 28mm Marine Ply Floor

This 20 ft shipping container – blue, Corten steel, CSC plated, 28mm marine ply floor provides secure, weatherproof storage with a distinctive blue finish that stands out in coastal, marina, and industrial environments. For example, you can store tools, equipment, inventory, or marine supplies inside this rugged steel container. Therefore, this unit offers the perfect balance of durability, visibility, and value for coastal and high-traffic applications.

Why Choose a Blue Shipping Container?

Standard green containers can be difficult to locate in certain environments. In contrast, this blue container offers high visibility in coastal, rural, or wooded areas, making it easy to spot. Consequently, you reduce the risk of accidental collisions with site vehicles or equipment. Moreover, the Corten steel body provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for coastal or high-rainfall locations . Thus, you gain both high visibility and long-term durability.

Key Features of This Blue Shipping Container

The blue finish and high-quality construction make this container stand out. For instance, the blue powder coating (RAL5002 Ultramarine Blue or equivalent) provides a distinctive, professional appearance that works well for marinas, coastal properties, and industrial sites . Similarly, the Corten steel body develops a stable rust patina that prevents deeper corrosion, even in salt-laden coastal air. Furthermore, the CSC safety plate confirms structural integrity for intermodal shipping if you ever need to relocate. Finally, the lockable double doors feature heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) for security.

Blue Finish – High Visibility and Professional Appeal

The blue exterior offers both practical and aesthetic benefits for coastal and industrial sites. For example, RAL5002 (Ultramarine Blue) provides a distinctive, high-visibility appearance that stands out against green foliage or grey coastal skies . Likewise, the powder-coated finish resists UV fading, chipping, and corrosion. Furthermore, the bright colour makes the container easy to locate in large storage yards. If you need a container for a coastal location, marina, or high-traffic site, this blue finish delivers excellent visibility and professional appeal.

Corten Steel Construction – Built for Coastal Environments

Corten steel makes this container exceptionally durable for outdoor use, especially in coastal areas. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time that resists salt spray. Second, this patina prevents deeper corrosion, unlike standard steel that continues rusting through. Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance under normal conditions, though the blue finish adds an extra protective layer. Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions. Therefore, you can place this container anywhere without worrying about premature rust or structural failure.

CSC Plated – Ready for Transport Anywhere

The CSC plate confirms that this container meets international safety standards for shipping. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength . Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks across international borders. If you need to relocate the container overseas for a project, this certification makes international shipping possible . Thus, you gain complete flexibility for both static storage and transport.

The 28mm Marine Ply Floor – Built for Heavy Loads

The marine ply floor handles demanding storage applications with ease. For example, the 28mm thickness provides exceptional strength for heavy pallets, machinery, or vehicles. Likewise, the WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) adhesive resists moisture penetration, even in damp coastal site conditions. Furthermore, the tongue-and-groove construction creates seamless coverage across the entire floor. As a result, you can store loads up to 26,000 kg evenly distributed without worrying about floor failure.

20ft Dimensions – Compact but Capacious

The 20ft length provides generous storage while fitting on most coastal and marina sites. For example, the internal length of approximately 19ft 4in accommodates 11 Euro pallets. Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in allows comfortable access. If you need compact storage for a coastal or marina site, this 20ft blue container delivers the perfect solution.
