Containers beyond shipping. Industry expert: “From offshore operations to pharmaceuticals, storage is the new frontier”

Containers for storage: Sogese’s interview with Blue Economy

A seasonal production peak, goods that require temperature-controlled storage, or a construction site needing space for materials and equipment. Different situations with a shared need: additional storage capacity for as long as it is required, without building a permanent warehouse.

Containers for storage are the starting point of Blue Economy’s interview with Andrea Monti, CEO of Sogese, exploring container applications beyond maritime transport. Modular cold rooms and storage containers help businesses adapt their available space to changing operational needs.

From food to pharmaceuticals, the examples discussed in the interview show how this flexibility can influence business decisions. Yet space and temperature control are only part of the picture: the way refrigeration systems are connected and managed also raises questions about operational continuity.

The conversation then turns to the offshore sector, where specialised containers could find further applications. What opportunities are emerging, and which requirements could shape their development? Andrea Monti shares Sogese’s assessment and the questions that need to be explored directly with industry operators.
