What is Offshore Container?
Offshore containers are specialized shipping containers designed specifically for use in challenging offshore environments such as oil and gas platforms, drilling rigs, and support vessels. They are constructed with enhanced strength and durability, comply with rigorous international standards, and are equipped with specialized features to ensure the safe and efficient transport, storage, and handling of equipment, tools, and materials needed for offshore operations. The availability of various types and sizes of offshore containers, coupled with stringent inspection and certification processes, ensures that these containers remain reliable and fit for purpose in the demanding conditions of the offshore industry.
Why does offshore container need third party certificate?
The importance of offshore containers has steadily grown alongside the offshore oil and gas industry. Due to the harsh conditions they face, offshore containers must be designed to withstand forces other types of containers cannot. Third-party certification services play a key role in assuring the owners of offshore containers that their cargo will be safely ferried to a drilling rig or platform.
Manufacturers of offshore containers for use in the majority of countries around the world must adhere to the guidelines set by the International Maritime Organisation. Offshore container approval guidelines were set forth in the IMO MSC/Circ. 860, a supplement to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods code. This is set as law in 162 countries around the world, and is meant to ensure the safe transport of cargo to offshore platforms and rigs.
