Introduction
In the demanding and often harsh environments of the offshore industry – from oil and gas platforms to wind farms – ensuring the safety, comfort, and well-being of personnel is non-negotiable. TLS Offshore Containers International rises to this challenge, offering meticulously designed offshore accommodation containers that provide a secure, efficient, and comfortable home away from home. Whether you need standard 20ft DNV-certified units or larger, versatile ABS-approved modules, TLS delivers robust solutions built for the toughest conditions.
 
Uncompromising Safety and Compliance Standards
Safety is paramount offshore, and TLS accommodation modules are engineered with this principle at their core:
  • Top-Tier Certifications: TLS provides containers certified to DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 standards and CSC certified. We also offer ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) approved modules designed specifically to meet rigorous offshore oil & gas requirements, including Zone 2 compliance for external connections and ABS guidelines.
  • A60 Fire Safety: All modules feature A60-grade fire insulation, self-closing A60 doors, and fire dampers on all ventilation inlets and outlets, providing critical fire protection. Windows can also integrate A60 escape hatches.
  • Robust Construction: Built to withstand extreme temperatures from -30°C to 70°C, these containers maintain structural integrity and watertightness. A C5-grade marine paint exterior offers superior corrosion protection.
  • Integrated Safety Systems: Modules come equipped or pre-wired for essential safety systems, including PLC-based fire and gas detection, smoke/temperature sensors, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, and connections for PAGA (Public Address and General Alarm), telephone, and TV.
 
Designed for Durability, Functionality, and Comfort
TLS accommodation containers blend ruggedness with features designed for livability and operational efficiency:
  • Versatile Sizes & Layouts: Choose from standard 20ft containers (often configured with two independent rooms and a shared bathroom) or larger ABS modules accommodating 1 to 8 personnel with various layouts, such as twin rooms with en-suite facilities.
  • Built for the Environment: Engineered for global offshore (on-deck or below-deck) and onshore use, these units consider harsh environmental conditions and transport stresses. Features like PVC anti-slip flooring enhance safety.
  • Climate Control: Integrated HVAC systems with individual thermostatic controls ensure a comfortable interior climate, even with T3 high-temperature rated air conditioning options available for extreme heat.
  • Reliable Utilities: Modules feature easy connections for utilities, including freshwater inlets and grey/black water outlets. Electrical systems use marine/offshore standard flame-retardant cables, offer plug-in connections for easy hook-up, and ABS modules support multi-voltage inputs (380V-480V, 60Hz) stepping down to standard outlet voltages (e.g., 240V).
 
Practicality in Deployment and Use
TLS focuses on making deployment and long-term use as straightforward as possible:
  • Ease of Transport & Installation: Standardized dimensions (including ISO standard corners) ensure compatibility with sea, road, and air transport, streamlining logistics. Certified lifting eyes and included slings facilitate safe handling.
  • Stackable & Linkable: Containers are designed to be stacked (ABS modules up to three levels manned) and linked together. Special linking kits maintain A60 integrity and create watertight seals, allowing for the creation of multi-level accommodation complexes with internal corridors, eliminating the need to go outside between modules.
  • Fully Furnished: Interiors are equipped for comfortable living, typically including beds (single or bunk with FR mattresses), wardrobes/lockers, desks with chairs, lighting, ample sockets, network/data connections, and fully fitted wet units (toilet, washbasin, shower, water heater).
  • Customization: TLS offers various configurations and interior layouts to meet specific client requirements, from single occupancy to multi-person arrangements or combined living/working spaces.
 
Conclusion: Choose TLS for Reliable Offshore Accommodation
TLS Offshore Containers International provides certified, robust, and comfortable accommodation solutions tailored for the demanding offshore industry. By prioritizing safety standards (DNV 2.7-1, ABS, A60), incorporating practical design features, and ensuring ease of deployment through stackable and linkable modules, TLS delivers exceptional value. Their commitment to quality and customization makes them a trusted partner for offshore personnel housing worldwide.

As digital transformation accelerates in the oil and gas industry, Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) technologies are evolving from traditional data collection tools into intelligent systems that support real-time drilling decisions.
However, in order for these systems to function reliably in extreme environments, a robust and intelligent physical platform is essential. That’s where high-performance LWD/MWD containers play a critical role—not only protecting equipment but also serving as the core hub for data processing, communication, and environmental control.

1. Designed for Harsh Field Conditions
Some LWD/MWD units are installed near the wellhead, where they are exposed to high temperatures, humidity, vibration, dust, and explosive gases. These challenging conditions place stringent demands on the container design:

Environmental Control
  • Equipped with ATEX/IECEx-certified industrial HVAC systems
  • Maintains stable internal temperatures between -20°C and +50°C, and humidity ≤80% RH
  • Ensures consistent equipment performance and prevents data deviation

EMC Shielding and Data Security
  • Integrated electromagnetic shielding prevents signal interference from high-power field equipment
  • Supports accurate and uninterrupted data transmission

Explosion-Proof Safety (If Required by Site Conditions)
  • Designed to meet Zone 1 or Zone 2 explosion-proof standards (e.g. ATEX, IECEx) when applicable
  • Compatible with gas detection systems for methane, H₂S, and other hazardous gases
  • Optional auto-shutdown and alarm trigger when hazardous gas concentrations are detected
  • Explosion-proof lighting, ventilation, and pressurization systems can be integrated upon request

Versatile Data Interfaces
  • Supports WITS and WITSML protocols
  • Compatible with major LWD/MWD equipment brands such as Schlumberger and Halliburton
  • Features high-speed fiber or satellite communication modules (≥10 Mbps) for real-time remote data transfer

2. Optimized Layout and Structural Performance
To meet the demands of modern drilling operations, our LWD/MWD containers are engineered with both functionality and resilience in mind.

Modular Internal Layout
  • Data Processing Zone: Includes industrial-grade servers, UPS systems, monitors, and recorders
  • Operator Workspace: Ergonomic setup with desks, control panels, and monitors
  • Electrical Zone: Houses explosion-proof distribution boards, cable trays, and backup power ports

Reinforced Structural Design
  • Complies with DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 offshore container standards
  • Withstands wind pressure of ≥0.6 kPa
  • Exterior finished with ISO 12944 C5-M anti-corrosion coating for resistance to salt spray, UV radiation, and sandstorms
  • Flooring made from anti-static and anti-slip materials to ensure operational safety

Reliable Power Supply
  • Dual power inputs with UPS backup ensure uninterrupted operation
  • Optional diesel generator interface supports off-grid or remote drilling sites

3. Flexible Specifications and Customization
Our LWD/MWD containers are available in standard 20ft ISO formats as well as custom dimensions, with multiple configuration options tailored to different drilling applications.

Optional Features
  • Remote diagnostics and monitoring modules
  • Data backup arrays
  • Fire-rated partitions
  • Scalable Deployment
  • Stackable and cluster-ready
  • Supports integration with centralized control systems

Conclusion
LWD/MWD containers are more than structural shells—they are intelligent platforms that ensure the integrity, safety, and efficiency of your drilling operations. From explosion-proof systems to smart environmental control and high-speed data communication, every feature is engineered to meet the highest industry standards.
