20ft Advanced Offshore Laboratory Container: High-Safety Lab Solutions for Vessels and FPSOs

Operating on offshore platforms—whether on vessels or FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading units)—requires facilities that combine functionality, safety, and reliability. TLS Offshore Containers’ 20ft Advanced Offshore Laboratory Container is specifically engineered to meet these demands, delivering industry-leading performance in structure, safety, and compliance.

Built for the Challenges of the Offshore Environment

Designed and manufactured to meet DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 offshore standards, and certified with CSC, this laboratory container ensures exceptional structural integrity during offshore transport, lifting, and long-term operation. It is built to withstand marine corrosion, extreme weather, and continuous vibration, offering reliable performance in harsh offshore conditions.

Multi-Layer Safety for Offshore Operations

Safety is a top priority for any offshore lab. The TLS 20ft lab container can achieve A60 fire protection rating, effectively reducing fire risks. It also integrates independent fire, gas, and smoke detection systems, providing immediate alerts to potential hazards and ensuring proactive safety for offshore operations.

The container can be equipped with independent ventilation or HVAC systems and features quick-plug power interfaces, allowing seamless connection to platform power and delivering a stable, controlled environment for laboratory work.

Comprehensive Laboratory Functionality

The container’s internal layout is optimized for practical offshore lab operations:

• Laboratory benches and standing workstations
• Stainless steel sink units with large washing areas and drainage
• Workstations with telephone, computer, and LAN connectivity for data processing and communication
• Ample storage cabinets above and below benches for consumables and tools
• Fume hoods to ensure safe laboratory procedures

Additionally, the integrated water supply system can connect directly to the platform’s water source, ensuring continuous and efficient lab operations.

Professional Explosion-Proof Design for Hazardous Areas

For environments with flammable gas risks, the lab container can be designed for Zone 2 hazardous areas, with all electrical systems, lighting, switches, outlets, and cabling meeting explosion-proof requirements. Combined with anti-slip flooring, this ensures both personnel safety and reliable daily operation.

Rapid Deployment and Flexible Offshore Integration

TLS offshore lab containers support fast connection to various vessel or platform utilities, significantly reducing on-site installation and commissioning time. Their structural design also allows for stacking, optimizing limited deck space without compromising operational efficiency.

A Trusted Offshore Laboratory Solution

With mature design concepts, comprehensive safety features, and strict adherence to international offshore standards, TLS’ 20ft Advanced Offshore Laboratory Container is widely recognized by clients worldwide. It reflects TLS’ extensive experience in offshore functional containers and underscores our commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality solutions for vessels and FPSOs.
