CIMIC holds a BV (Bureau Veritas) shipping certificate and an ISO quality certificate. Standard units follow ISO container dimensions, and our offshore dry cargo containers are manufactured in line with DNV certification requirements for offshore service.

Which refrigeration unit brands are available for reefer containers?

Our reefer range includes models fitted with Thermo King, Daikin and Carrier refrigeration units, offered in 10ft, 20ft, 20ft high-cube, 40ft and 40ft high-cube sizes depending on the model.

Where are your used containers located?

Our second-hand containers are stored at various ports in China. We share condition details and photos of the specific units on request so you can approve them before shipment.

Where is CIMIC located and which markets do you serve?

We operate from Tianjin and Suzhou, China, about 100 km from the seaport. Our containers are exported worldwide, with Africa, Europe and the Americas as our main markets.

Corten-A Steel Integrity

Multimodal Fleet Resiliency

Enterprise supply chains demand dry storage units capable of withstanding rough transitions across sea vessels, double-stack railway wagons, and highway chassis without structural warping or micro-fissuring of the weather envelope.

Corten-A Weather Resistance

Our ODM manufacturing utilizes certified SPA-H / Corten-A weathering steel. Its passivation layer prevents atmospheric corrosion caused by marine salt fog, extending container life cycles well past 15 to 20 years in severe operating environments.

Payload Density Optimization

Through advanced finite element analysis (FEA), internal cargo profiles are optimized to maximize cubic meter volume while ensuring high payload ratings up to 28,000 kg for dense machinery, raw minerals, and palletized commodities.

Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions for Sourcing Directors

Addressing technical details, manufacturing capacities, materials standards, and international shipping protocols.

What specific steel grade is utilized in CIMIC ODM dry storage container construction?

Our dry storage containers are primarily engineered using SPA-H Corten-A weathering steel (equivalent to JIS G3125). This low-alloy, high-tensile steel forms an adherent oxide layer when exposed to the elements, preventing moisture and oxygen infiltration. This structural resilience protects against continuous salt spray during maritime transits.

Can customized door layouts and reinforced flooring be integrated via ODM engineering?

Yes. Our ODM capabilities allow full modification of the container envelope. We supply custom side-opening configurations, roller-shutter closures, heightened door headers, steel-checker plate flooring, and custom fork-pocket spacing to support heavy material handling or static industrial housing requirements.

How is the container's structural weatherproofing validated prior to departure?

Every manufactured unit undergoes a two-stage sealing audit: a light-tightness inspection from the interior to detect microscopic weld gaps, followed by high-pressure hydrodynamic water jet testing focused on the EPDM rubber door gaskets, floor joints, and roof panels in accordance with ISO 1496-1 Clause 6.17.

What third-party documentation is issued with an export shipment?

All units are delivered with valid CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) safety plates, Classification Society Certificates (Bureau Veritas, DNV, or CCS), mill test certificates for the steel, and timber fumigation/treatment dossiers satisfying biosecurity protocols for destination ports in North America, Europe, Australia, and Africa.

What is the typical production lead time for full-container-load ODM orders?

Following engineering drawing approval, standard volume runs (20 to 100 units) generally complete fabrication, shot-blasting, painting, and pre-shipment inspections within 20 to 30 calendar days. Inland transit to Tianjin Seaport requires less than 48 hours for immediate vessel loading.
