Container Repairs

We repair, refurbish, modify, and clean containers. 

Well-maintained shipping containers are safer to use and transport and will last longer. Some of the benefits of repair and maintenance of shipping containers are

1. Longer Life Expectancy: Regular repair and maintenance of shipping containers can significantly extend their lifespan, ensuring maximum use and a better return on investment.
2. Safety: Ensuring containers are in good repair is critical for safety, especially when transporting goods nationally and internationally.
3. Preserved Value: Well-maintained containers are more likely to retain their value, which can be important for resale or repurposing.
4. Efficiency: Regular maintenance can help to identify and rectify issues early, preventing larger, more costly problems down the line.

UK Regulations and Compliance for Shipping Containers:

1. CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) Compliance: This international convention, to which the UK is a signatory, mandates standards for container safety during international transport. Containers must have a valid CSC plate, indicating they have been inspected and deemed safe.
2. ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) Standards: Many containers are built and maintained to ISO standards, which cover aspects like dimensions, ratings, and fittings. ISO 6346 also provides a system for identifying and marking containers.
3. ISO 6346 is maintained by the BIC (International Container Bureau) and covers the serial number, owner, country code, and size of any given shipping container.
4. Dangerous Goods Regulations: If containers are used to transport hazardous materials, they must comply with regulations such as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code or the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
5. Environmental Regulations: Repair and maintenance activities must comply with UK environmental regulations, which cover waste disposal, emissions, and the use of certain substances.

Remember...

...that the specific regulations and standards that apply can vary depending on the container's intended use and the nature of the repairs or maintenance being carried out. Always check with relevant regulatory bodies or seek legal advice to ensure compliance.
