It's important to know what options are available for offshore mini containers. When making your choice, there are several factors to consider: what goods you are going to store, the volume, or amount, of goods you wish to store, and how you will be accessing them (frequency, necessity, etc.). Below are a few ideas to help you begin selecting which mini containers will be best for your offshore needs.
Types & Amount of Goods
Mini containers are ideal for transport and storage of tools, small equipment, and similar items. Mini containers can be set up for multiple applications, not just offshore storage. They can also be used for transport via vessel, rail, or air cargo.
When deciding whether mini containers will be appropriate for your needs, assess not only the type of equipment you need to house, but the amount you have to store. If you have a large amount of small items or tools, it will help you determine how many mini containers you will need for your offshore applications. You may need just two or three, or you may need even more --depending on how you wish to organize your goods. Additionally, if you believe you have enough for several mini containers, you will need to assess how often you will be accessing those tools or goods.
Accessing Your Items
As mentioned above, when it comes to accessing your items, you will need to evaluate several things. These points will help you get started with your evaluation:
- how and how often you will access your items
- how you will organize your items
- what functions your tools, goods, or items serve
First, ask yourself how you will be getting to your mini containers -- whether they will be on-site or off-site, stacked or lined up, how often you will need to get to them, etc. This visualization can help you determine just how many mini containers will be needed for your needs. Next, decide how the items will be organized. For example, if you have tools, equipment, and loose goods that are related, decide if you will be putting them all together in one mini container, or if it would be best if you had three different mini containers for better organization. This can also help you decide if you want your mini containers with or without shelving, or if you want a mix of shelved and plain units.
Once you have assessed your needs, starting with the suggestions above, you will have a better idea of which mini containers will be best for your applications.
