In extreme offshore environments such as oil drilling platforms, offshore wind farms, FPSOs, and floating work zones, functional containers—such as accommodation modules, laboratories, control rooms, and equipment enclosures—serve not only as essential units for work and living but also as dual safeguards for equipment safety and personnel protection. In these scenarios, safely lifting containers onto decks or vessels is a critical and often underestimated process.

To ensure lifting operations are stable, secure, and controllable, offshore containers must undergo rigorous lifting tests and obtain third-party certification. This process is not only a regulatory requirement, but more importantly, a vital safeguard for life and property.

1. What is a Lifting Test?

A lifting test simulates the real-world lifting conditions of a container before it leaves the factory. It thoroughly examines the structural strength, weld integrity, and the robustness of lifting points (pad eyes). The test is carried out according to classification society or industry standards and serves two main purposes:

• To verify that the lifting structure can support the design load.
• To ensure that the structure does not undergo permanent deformation or failure under extreme conditions.

2. Why is Lifting Test Mandatory for Offshore Containers?

(1) Mandatory Compliance with Standards
Offshore containers are governed by stringent industry standards such as:

• DNV 2.7-1: Design, manufacture, and certification of offshore containers
• ISO 10855: Offshore containers used in the oil and gas industry
• EN 12079: European standard covering lifting equipment and structural requirements

All of these standards mandate that containers must undergo lifting tests and obtain valid certification before delivery.

(2) High-Risk Marine Environments Demand Zero Compromise
Lifting operations at sea are exposed to confined spaces, vessel motion, and unpredictable weather. Any failure in the lifting structure or pad eyes can result in equipment damage, loss of life, or catastrophic accidents. A lifting test ensures structural integrity and reliability under such conditions.

(3) Essential for Project Approval and Global Market Access
Oil & gas operators, EPC contractors, and classification societies routinely inspect lifting design and certified test results. Containers without certified lifting tests will be rejected from offshore sites.

3. How is a Lifting Test Performed?

TLS follows a standard process to ensure safe and certified lifting capability:
(1) Pad Eye Inspection & Structural Review

• Pad eyes are manufactured using high-strength steel.
• Welds are subjected to non-destructive testing (NDT) such as UT or MT.
• The integration of lifting points with the frame is examined for structural integrity.

(2) Static Load Test

• Load applied at 2 times the rated lifting capacity, as per DNV 2.7-1.
• Container is suspended for at least 5 minutes.
• Checked for any signs of deformation, cracks, or structural failures.

(3) Dynamic Load Test (if required)

• Simulates lifting operations with movement and sway.
• Monitors structural fatigue and elastic recovery under repeated loading.

(4) Final Certification
Upon successful testing, a certificate is issued by an accredited classification society (e.g., DNV, BV, LR, CCS).
This certificate accompanies the container upon delivery and is recognized by global offshore project stakeholders.

4. TLS Practice in Lifting Test Assurance

As a specialized manufacturer of offshore functional containers, TLS conducts lifting tests on every unit destined for marine environments. Our process includes:

• Full compliance with DNV 2.7-1 or custom project specifications
• On-site testing with professional lifting rigs and calibrated equipment
• Third-party witness testing and traceable documentation
• Issuance of globally recognized, valid lifting certificates

5. Conclusion: Safety Starts with Testing and Ends with Trust

Behind each seemingly simple lift lies a comprehensive evaluation of structural design, welding, material quality, and load handling capability. Only through a standardized and certified lifting test can every lifting operation be performed with confidence—establishing an unbreakable safety foundation for offshore operations.

• High salinity and humidity: Salt-laden air accelerates metal corrosion.
• Intense UV radiation: Leads to surface degradation and material aging.
• Drastic temperature changes and wave impact: May cause coating cracks or peeling.
• Continuous exposure to rain, oil, and contaminants: Challenges coating adhesion and chemical resistance.

Standard industrial coatings are insufficient—marine-grade protective systems are essential.

2. Key Functions of Offshore Paint Systems(1). Corrosion ProtectionA quality paint system is the first line of defense against steel corrosion. Common marine systems include zinc-rich epoxy primer, epoxy intermediate coat, and polyurethane or acrylic topcoat, meeting the requirements of ISO 12944 C5-M, the highest corrosion category. Such systems can offer protection for 15+ years.

(2). Fire ResistanceSpecialized offshore containers—such as accommodation units and control cabins—often require A60 fire protection. In these cases, fire-retardant coatings certified for high-temperature resistance are used to slow down fire spread, offering critical time for personnel evacuation.

(3). UV Resistance and Aging DurabilityTopcoats formulated with UV-resistant and anti-chalking properties help maintain surface integrity and visual appearance under constant sun exposure, especially on decks and external walls.

(4). Functional Identification and VisibilityColor-coded coatings help distinguish functional zones (e.g., living quarters, power rooms, labs). Reflective and safety markings further improve visibility, especially in low-light offshore environments.

3. Typical Paint System Configuration

• Primer: Zinc-rich epoxy – corrosion and rust prevention
• Intermediate Coat: Epoxy – enhanced adhesion and barrier properties
• Topcoat: Polyurethane or acrylic – weather resistance and aesthetics

These systems typically achieve a dry film thickness (DFT) of 220–300μm, suitable for long-term protection in aggressive marine conditions.

4. Key Certifications and StandardsTo ensure durability, safety, and compliance, offshore container coatings must meet several international standards:

• ISO 12944: Defines corrosion categories and service life expectations of protective systems.
• IMO MSC.215(82) / PSPC: Regulates performance of protective coatings for marine and offshore equipment.
• NORSOK M-501: Norwegian standard for surface preparation and coating in oil & gas sectors.
• Class Society Approvals (DNV, ABS, LR, etc.): Essential for most offshore modules; coatings are reviewed as part of structural integrity.
• IMO A754 (Fire Protection): Ensures fireproof coatings meet A60 insulation and integrity standards.
• Surface Preparation: Steel must be blasted to Sa2.5 to ensure proper coating adhesion and longevity.

5. Final Thoughts

In offshore functional containers, paint is not optional—it’s essential. A professionally designed and certified coating system not only protects against corrosion and fire but also extends the container's service life, reduces long-term maintenance costs, and elevates your brand’s reputation in the marine and offshore industry.

In high-risk industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, battery manufacturing, and renewable energy, the safety and stability of the lab environment are crucial to ensuring both research integrity and production efficiency. TLS introduces a pressurized laboratory container specifically engineered for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, with advanced explosion-proof and electrical designs that safeguard personnel, equipment, and operational processes.

Full IEC 60079-13 Certification: The Foundation of Reliability
A truly compliant pressurized system for hazardous areas must be designed as a complete unit—covering structure, electrical systems, explosion protection, and ventilation—and certified by an independent third party. The TLS pressurized lab container holds a full IEC 60079-13 system-level certification (typically issued by reputable authorities such as BV), meaning it is not merely an assembly of certified components, but a fully integrated, compliant solution.
Unlike systems where only individual components such as fans, distribution boards, or lights are certified, TLS considers the entire system—from the container structure and sealing design to cable routing and control logic—to ensure safety in explosive gas environments.

A60 Fire Rating: Dual-Layered Safety Assurance
The TLS pressurized lab container features A60-rated fire protection, providing advanced structural safety for high-risk operational scenarios. Key elements include:

• A60-rated walls, floor, ceiling, and door, tested to withstand 60 minutes of fire exposure;
• High-density rock wool or equivalent non-combustible insulation with excellent thermal resistance;
• A pressure-sealed fire-resistant structure that works in synergy with the pressurization system, preserving internal integrity during early-stage fire incidents and allowing critical time for emergency response.

A60 compliance meets the stringent requirements of offshore and hazardous chemical areas, enhancing both the intrinsic safety and overall protection level of the container.

Certified Electrical System: Safety in Every Detail
TLS designs the electrical system of the pressurized container in strict accordance with the IEC 60079 series and draws upon years of experience in offshore explosion-proof integration. Core features include:

• Independent power distribution system, certified to Ex e / Ex d standards;
• Explosion-proof cable glands and sealed penetration for all wiring routes;
• Interlocked circuitry that ensures "no power without pressure";
• Integrated alarm system, differential pressure monitoring, and self-diagnostic functions.

Practical Ventilation Solution: Fan + Air Conditioner + Dehumidifier Combo
To maintain internal environmental stability, TLS offers a flexible combination of:

• Ducted explosion-proof fans for continuous positive pressure ventilation and air exchange;
• Split-type air conditioning systems (with condenser installed in a safe zone) to regulate internal temperatures;
• Dehumidifiers to control humidity, prevent condensation, and protect sensitive instruments.

This modular approach allows for easier maintenance and broader customization based on application needs.

Modular Customization: Tailored to Experimental Requirements
Depending on the intended use—sensor testing, battery experiments, hazardous substance analysis, etc.—TLS offers:

• Standard 20ft or 40ft container structures (ISO / DNV2.7-1 certified);
• Choice of Zone 1 or Zone 2 explosion-proof compliance;
• Customizable interior layouts for workstations, test benches, insulation, acoustic treatments, and lighting;
• Airtightness testing and pressure relief design to ensure stable overpressure conditions.

Conclusion
At TLS, we believe a truly qualified pressurized laboratory container must undergo strict scrutiny at every level—from structural design and explosion-proof electrical systems to pressure control and integrated functions. With full system certification, A60-rated fire protection, and efficient environmental control solutions, TLS delivers safe, standards-compliant lab spaces that support efficient, reliable research and operations in high-risk industries.
