In high-value cold chain transport, refrigerated sea freight containers are more than standard shipping tools. For customers, the critical questions are: Is the equipment reliable? Are risks controllable? Will support be available if issues arise? TLS addresses these concerns with tailored solutions designed for real-world shipping conditions.

From Equipment Delivery to Fully Operational Cold Chain Units
TLS refrigerated containers are engineered beyond basic cooling requirements. From container structure and insulation performance to refrigeration system configuration, every element is optimized for long-term marine operation. Our designs ensure stable performance under continuous operation, vibration, and exposure to salt-laden environments.

Loading and Airflow Design Minimize Temperature Risks
Temperature fluctuations are not only because of the inadequate refrigeration, but  from poor airflow and cargo arrangement. TLS incorporates airflow considerations into container design and provides operational guidance, helping clients minimize temperature deviations caused by improper loading, reducing risks from the very start.

Monitoring and Traceability for Critical Temperature Control
For temperature-sensitive cargo, TLS can provide interfaces or integrate temperature monitoring and data logging systems. Real-time monitoring and traceability help clients manage shipments efficiently and provide actionable data for quality assurance and accountability.

When operating in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, risks rarely come from a single source. Fire hazards, flammable gases, equipment operation, and human activity often overlap, significantly increasing overall risk. Drawing on extensive experience in hazardous-area projects, TLS Containers has developed a mature pressurized container solution that provides a stable, controlled, and standards-compliant workspace for the oil & gas and renewable energy industries.

Systematic Design for High-Risk Environments

TLS pressurized containers are not simply an assembly of individual components. They are designed as an integrated system with one clear objective: continuous safe operation. The container structure, ventilation and pressurization system, electrical configuration, and safety monitoring logic are engineered to work together, ensuring that internal conditions remain controlled even when external environments fluctuate or unexpected hazards arise.

The walls, roof, and floor of the container meet A60 fire-rating requirements, providing critical protection time for personnel and essential equipment in the event of a fire. Structural design and manufacturing strictly comply with DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079, ensuring the strength and durability required for offshore lifting, transportation, and long-term service.

Reliable Pressurization and Safety Monitoring

Each TLS pressurized container is equipped with a complete pressurization and monitoring system. Key safety functions are centrally managed through an integrated fire and gas control panel, covering pressurization fan operation, internal pressure status, gas concentration monitoring, and alarm and interlock logic.

In the event of pressure loss or flammable gas detection above preset limits, the system can issue immediate alarms and, if required by the project, initiate automatic power shutdown or interlocking actions. This significantly reduces personnel exposure to hazardous conditions. Additional detectors for fire, smoke, and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) can be installed to provide multiple layers of protection in demanding environments.

Flexible Configuration for Diverse Applications

Based on a modular and customizable design approach, TLS offers a wide range of fully pressurized units tailored to different operational needs, including but not limited to:

ROV cabins, control rooms, mud logging units, MWD/LWD cabins, laboratory modules, communication rooms, testing units, as well as pressurized office and accommodation containers.

The Value of Choosing TLS

With years of continuous involvement in oil & gas and related industries, TLS has developed a deep understanding of international standards, engineering details, and real-world operational requirements. Our in-house engineering team provides end-to-end support—from concept design and technical selection to manufacturing and delivery—ensuring that each container is not only compliant, but also practical, reliable, and durable in operation.

All steel structures undergo SA 2.5 sandblasting prior to coating and are protected with a marine-grade three-coat anti-corrosion system, making them suitable for long-term use in offshore and harsh environmental conditions.
