Durable Container Office in Coastal Conditions
Oceanfront Office & Breakroom
When Remwood Crab Company bought an existing dock to expand their crabbing operations in New Orleans, Louisiana, it came with a small, stick-built office structure. But as the company grew and more employees came on board, the tiny office didn't have the space or structural integrity to support operations long term.

Key Challenges
Comfort, Privacy & Strength Against Elements
With employees using the old dockside office for breaks and co-owners trying to hold meetings in the same room, it quickly became clear they needed more breathing room—and more privacy.
Initially, the team considered a standard construction trailer, but concerns about wear and tear in the salty coastal environment made that option a nonstarter. Durability was essential. After extensive research, they landed on a smarter solution: a modified shipping container, built to last and tailored to their team’s unique needs.
A Workspace That Works for Everyone
Just fifteen feet from the water, Remwood’s new container office is built to withstand the coastal elements. Unlike traditional trailers, the steel structure resists rust, moisture, and wear—making it a smart long-term investment for a waterfront operation.
Falcon customized the 40-foot container to include a private office for meetings and a separate break room for employees. It’s already become a hub for Remwood’s team and visitors alike, with local crabbers and commercial watermen regularly stopping by to admire the setup.
The Solution
From the Customer
"If you’re looking for a mobile solution or even a permanent solution, I think the shipping container office we did would be a great fit for a lot of different businesses. In a harsh environment, the durability of a container is really going to stand up, even compared to traditional construction."
