CSC Survey
CSC Survey is required for shipping container exports.
Cargo Worthy (CWO) & NEW (One-Trip) Containers can be surveyed
A Cargo Worthy shipping container (CWO) refers to a used container that meets all international safety and structural standards required for global export. These containers are fully capable of being stacked up to seven units high on cargo ships, making them suitable for heavy-duty freight and sea transport.
One Trip containers, although technically considered new, also fall under the Cargo Worthy category. These containers are typically manufactured within the last 1–3 years and used only once to ship goods. After that single journey, they are sold in near-new condition, offering premium quality with the structural certification of a Cargo Worthy rating.

When a survey is purchased, a trained inspector confirms that the container is up to the standards listed on the CSC plate. The completed survey is then passed to your shipping company to confirm that the SOC (shipper-owned container) is up to the safety standards required for stacking on a ship.
CSC Shipping Container Survey Information
We only survey shipping containers that we have sold
The survey adds an additional 3-4 business days to your pickup date (4-7 business days total for the container to be surveyed and released).
We do NOT assist with shipping container exports
We recommend that you arrange your shipment for export first, then order your container about a week before you plan on picking it up.
