DNV 2.7-1 Certified TLS Offshore Refrigerated Containers: Your Secure Cold Storage Solution

7/25/2025

 
​Transporting temperature-sensitive goods offshore presents unique challenges, from harsh marine environments to the critical need for consistent temperature control. For decades, TLS Offshore Containers has been at the forefront of providing robust, reliable solutions. When it comes to safeguarding your perishable cargo, our DNV 2.7-1 certified refrigerated containers are engineered for excellence, ensuring your goods arrive in perfect condition, every time.

The Critical Need for Offshore Reefer Solutions
Imagine fresh produce, vital pharmaceuticals, or sensitive chemicals being transported across vast ocean distances. Without precise temperature management, spoilage, degradation, and significant financial losses are inevitable. This is where TLS refrigerated containers become an indispensable asset. They are specifically designed for demanding offshore conditions, offering a secure and controlled environment for your most vulnerable cargo.

Unpacking the TLS Advantage: Built for Performance
Our commitment to superior quality and advanced technology sets TLS apart as a global leader in containerized solutions.
1. Robust Certification for Offshore Demands: Every TLS offshore container, including our reefers, adheres to the stringent DNV2.7-1 / EN12079 standards. This ensures maximum safety, structural integrity, and reliability in the most challenging marine environments. They also comply with ISO size, CSC, and Customs regulations for seamless intermodal transportation.

2. Precision Temperature Control: At the heart of our reefers are high-performance refrigeration units from industry titans like DAIKIN, CARRIER, or THERMO KING. These units precisely maintain internal temperatures within a crucial range of -20°C to +25°C. An intelligent air duct system circulates conditioned air throughout the cargo, guaranteeing consistent chilled or frozen temperatures.

3. Optimized for All Cargo Types:
  • Perishables (Refrigerated): Ideal for fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, and pharmaceuticals. Adjustable ventilation holes within the refrigeration unit prevent spoilage by expelling warm, toxic air produced by living products.
  • Temperature-Stable (Heated): Perfect for goods requiring a consistently stable temperature, such as certain chemicals and electronics.
  • Temperature-Sensitive (Insulated): Suitable for goods vulnerable to temperature fluctuations, including artwork and antiques.

4. Engineered for Durability & Efficiency:
  • Long-Lasting Construction: The outer panel material is crafted from muffler-grade stainless steel, providing high-grade protection, extended container life, and superior insulation properties.
  • Optimized Payload: A light tare weight allows for greater cargo capacity.
  • Streamlined Handling: Integrated forklift pockets ensure easy and efficient loading and unloading.
  • Space-Saving Design: All units are stackable, maximizing deck and yard space – a crucial advantage in premium offshore environments.

Tailored to Your Specific Needs: Customizable Options
TLS understands that every offshore operation has unique requirements. That's why we offer a range of customizable features to enhance functionality and meet your exact specifications:
  1. Door curtains
  2. Shelving
  3. Lashing rings
  4. Man-trap alarms
