Proper site preparation ensures a smooth delivery process:​

• Clear the Area: Remove any obstacles such as debris, vegetation, or structures that may impede delivery.​

Yes, shipping containers are often used for residential and property-related purposes, including storage, workshops, and container-based building projects. They can be a practical option when the site, access, local regulations, and intended use are carefully considered.

A marine surveyed container is a shipping container that has undergone a thorough inspection by a certified marine surveyor to ensure it meets industry standards for transporting goods by sea. This inspection typically covers the container’s structural integrity, including wind and watertightness, as well as its overall condition to ensure it is safe for maritime transport.

Why Do You Need a Certificate?
If you’re planning to use a shipping container for international shipping or need it to meet specific industry standards, having a marine survey certificate may be required. This certificate verifies that the container is in suitable condition for transport, ensuring the safety and security of your goods during transit.

At StoreCan, we offer both marine surveyed and non-surveyed containers, depending on your needs. If you’re unsure about which type is right for you, feel free to reach out, and our team will help guide you to the best option for your project.
