​As the global push for offshore oil & gas, wind power, and marine engineering projects accelerates, so does the need for reliable, robust infrastructure. Whether it's accommodation for deep-sea crew or a critical project office, your containerized modules must not just survive the sea—they must perform.

At TLS, we specialize in delivering DNV 2.7-1 certified offshore containers designed to be the safest, most comfortable, and most durable solution in the harshest maritime environments. Here is a deep dive into what makes our marine-grade living and office modules the industry standard.

1. The Assurance of DNV 2.7-1 Certification
The DNV 2.7-1 standard is the international benchmark for the design, manufacture, and testing of offshore containers. It is the ultimate guarantee of safety and structural integrity in high-risk environments.

Every TLS module is rigorously engineered and manufactured to this standard, ensuring:
  • Exceptional Resistance: Built to handle extreme wind, wave action, and dynamic forces encountered during high-sea operations.
  • Heavy-Duty Structure: Features a reinforced steel frame designed for safe and frequent lifting, stacking, and heavy transport on and off vessels.
  • Sealing Integrity: Guaranteed protection against seawater ingress and salt spray, keeping interiors dry and operational personnel safe.
The Bottom Line: When you choose a DNV 2.7-1 certified module, you eliminate uncertainty. Your infrastructure is guaranteed to arrive safely and operate reliably, protecting your project timeline and your most valuable asset—your crew.

2. Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection: Winning the Fight Against Salt
Corrosion is the single biggest threat to equipment longevity in a marine climate. To drastically extend service life and minimize costly maintenance, TLS modules feature an advanced, multi-layer coating system:
  • C5-M Standard Coating: We utilize an Epoxy primer and Polyurethane topcoat specifically designed to provide long-term protection in the severe C5-M corrosive environment classification.
  • Rust Prevention: The coating system ensures rust prevention even during prolonged exposure to salt spray and highly humid sea air.
  • UV and Humidity Resistance: This combination protects the structural steel from degradation caused by intense UV exposure and humidity, leading to a longer, maintenance-free operational life.

3. Comfort & Functionality: Optimizing the Offshore Workplace
Extended stays offshore demand that living and office spaces be more than just sheltered boxes—they must be environments that promote comfort, safety, and productivity.

Our interior design philosophy prioritizes user experience:
  • Ergonomic Layouts: Smartly partitioned spaces for private bedrooms, dedicated offices, washrooms, and functional lounge areas.
  • Thermal Regulation: Excellent insulation and efficient thermal regulation systems adapt to extreme temperature shifts, maintaining a stable indoor climate.
  • Quiet Operation: Low-noise and highly efficient ventilation systems ensure a quiet, breathable environment, crucial for rest and focused work.
  • International Safety: Electrical layouts are designed to international standards, guaranteeing user-friendliness and safety for a diverse, global workforce.

4. Designed for Seamless Logistics & Deployment
Offshore logistics can be complex and expensive. TLS modules are designed for maximum flexibility and minimal hassle during deployment and transport:
  • Certified Lifting Lugs: Equipped with heavy-duty certified lifting lugs compatible with all marine cranes and land-based handling equipment.
  • Standard Container Dimensions: Built to standard dimensions for easy transport via barge, flatbed truck, or container vessel, simplifying multi-modal shipping.
  • Shock Resistance: Structural enhancements are included to ensure complete integrity during transit over rough seas or difficult terrain.

Conclusion: Choose Dependable, Certified Infrastructure
The success of offshore projects hinges on dependable infrastructure. TLS offshore living and office modules combine the non-negotiable strength of DNV 2.7-1 certification with state-of-the-art marine-grade corrosion protection and ergonomic interior design.

We deliver certified, containerized solutions that ensure a safe, productive, and comfortable environment for your personnel, performing reliably when and where it matters most.
