• Used Cargo Worthy (CW) - Structurally sound, wind/watertight, valid CSC sticker. Minor dents/rust.
• Wind & Watertight (WWT) - Retired from ocean service. Weatherproof, structurally sound, superficial rust/dents.
• As Is - Fixer-upper. May have floor damage, holes, or other repairable issues. Lowest price point.

CSC (Container Safety Convention) certification is an international safety standard required for shipping containers used in ocean transport. A valid CSC plate indicates the container has passed structural integrity inspections and is safe for international shipping. New and Cargo Worthy containers include valid CSC certification. WWT and As Is containers are typically retired from ocean service and do not have valid CSC plates.
