When should I buy and when should I rent an offshore container?
It depends on the rental period. If the period is longer than two years, you should consider whether it would make sense to buy the offshore containers. We would always advise buying if it is clear from the beginning that the construction project will take longer than two years. We can offer attractive financing options here. You can also buy rented offshore containers if it turns out during the rental period that the project will take longer than two years. With the purchase of containers, there are no limits to our possibilities. We can modify existing CSC or DNV containers, adapt one of our rental modules or build a 100% customized solution from scratch. We are happy to advise you on this. Requirement can change rapidly in the offshore industry, and we have to be able to react quickly. If you have a temporary requirement, the rental option could be ideal for you because you only pay for what you need. Furthermore, no CapEx is required to realize even the largest projects. Last but not least, the rental option reduces the carbon footprint and offers a more sustainable solution.

This can be easily combined with all other 20ft ELA Offshore Accommodation Containers. Its capacity is approx. 5m², which is sufficient for about 25-30 days at a wastewater volume of 150 liters per day.
