Frequently asked questions
What is the practical difference between PES and ACEP inspections and which scheme reduces downtime for fleet operators?
PES (Periodic Examination Scheme) requires scheduled re-inspections, first within five years of manufacture and then approximately every 30 months.
ACEP (Approved Continuous Examination Program) allows owners or operators to manage inspections within their maintenance regime and mark the CSC plate with an ACEP identifier. ACEP can reduce administrative downtime by integrating inspections with regular repairs and maintenance, but it requires an approved program and consistent recordkeeping.
Green Box also provides IICL-certified inspectors who can assess ISO shipping containers for seaworthiness and issue Cargo Worthy Certificates as part of these inspection programmes.
If a container shows local damage (corrosion, corner cast crack, door distortion), how do I know whether a sticker update suffices or a full structural re-inspection / CSC re-certification is needed?
Minor cosmetic wear or superficial corrosion can typically be managed through routine maintenance and an ACEP entry. However, structural issues such as corner post or cast damage, major shell buckling, or compromised floors and door frames usually require a full safety examination and possible repairs before the CSC plate can be updated or reissued.
Always rely on a qualified surveyor’s assessment and documented repair records. If a container cannot meet CSC safety standards, it will need re-inspection and re-certification.
As per international shipping procedures, periodic inspections by a certified IICL inspector are required to ensure compliance and seaworthiness.
Do you provide DNV offshore certification (DNV 2.7-1 / 2.7-2 / 2.7-3) and what extra testing/marking does that require compared with ISO/CSC?
We facilitate DNV offshore certification. Offshore (DNV) certification requires additional design reviews, lifting and structural testing, and formal compliance marking for lifting and sea-going use. Standards such as DNV-ST-E271 (2.7-1/2.7-3) are more stringent than ISO/CSC checks as they address lifting, dynamic loads, and harsh marine environments.
Certification involves factory design approval, testing, periodic in-service inspections, and issuance of an official DNV certificate and marking.
Can Green Box act as a third-party certifier to international standards (ISO, CSC, IMDG/ADR marking, DNV, or via ABS/RINA/LRQA partnerships) — and what should customers expect from such third-party audits?
Reputable third-party bodies such as ABS, DNV, LR, RINA, and LRQA provide independent inspections and certification across ISO intermodal, tank, and offshore classes. Customers can expect an objective report, non-conformance records where applicable, and a documented trail covering repairs and certificate issuance.
Green Box Containers is a certified manufacturer authorised by DNV to produce offshore units in compliance with the DNV 2.7-1 standard. During production, DNV or another recognised international third-party conducts intermediate inspections to verify structural compliance with approved designs and offshore safety requirements. Upon successful inspection, a certificate is issued naming both the client and Green Box Containers as the official manufacturer.
Do you offer origin, pre-shipment inspections or remote assessment programs (factory acceptance, ‘at-origin’ QC, or photo/video-based triage) to avoid surprises on arrival?
At Green Box Containers, we strongly encourage pre-shipment inspections at our facility. These can be carried out by the client, their appointed representative, or a third-party inspector to confirm that the product meets the approved design and required quality standards.
In addition, many certifiers and third-party inspectors provide options such as on-site surveys, factory acceptance tests, and documented photo/video inspections to identify defects before shipment. For high-value, offshore, or custom units, we recommend an on-site factory inspection with paperwork and a pre-shipment CSC or CSC-equivalent check to prevent costly returns or reworks.
