Detailed Description

This 20ft standard container is a retired unit that has been inspected and designated as “Wind and Watertight” (WWT). This grade indicates it has spent approximately 10 to 18 years in maritime service and has been depreciated from shipping fleets. The exterior will show evidence of its previous service, including surface rust, scratches, minor dents, and faded original paint with shipping line logos.

These cosmetic imperfections do not compromise the container’s functionality. The unit has been verified to be free from structural holes, with fully functional door seals and locking hardware that provide a reliable barrier against wind and water ingress. While WWT containers are not suitable for international shipping or heavy stacking, they retain significant utility for stationary storage projects.
