Good afternoon, we should have no problem carting 7 x 20ft DNV containers as long as there are no site restrictions. Site restrictions can be such things as a narrow lane, a gate, low telephone cables, and grass. However if you feel there might be something restricting access, it doesn’t mean we’ll immediately give up on you! We will generally look at Google maps at your site to see the general area, depending on what the problem is we may ask for dimensions and/or photos of the area. If there are still concerns afterwards, we can provide a site visit where one of our drivers will inspect the area.

Containers are generally delivered in no more than stacks of 2. We would be looking at 1 x 20ft on a single rigid HIAB then providing the access is suitable, have the remaining 6 containers travel close behind on 3 x artic flatbed / skellies.  The HIAB can then off-load the containers from the artic Lorries, thus reducing the cost on transport as we would only be paying for 1 crane.

Once the driver carrying the containers arrives at the port, they will then enquire with the customer as to what position they want the containers, and try to manoeuvre it into place as best they can. As we do not arrange shipping of containers the obvious off-load point is the Port of Felixstowe, for customer to arrange shipment themselves.

Hopefully this helps out our customer and will answer a few questions that anyone reading this may have.

Thank you very much for your enquiry, it will be my pleasure to explain DNV 2.7-1 Certification, this certification was issued by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) in the late 1980’s because no other regulations specifically addressed offshore containers. The standards set a minimum criteria for material, production, design and testing for containers that are to be used in offshore environments. The international standards that were relevant were taken into account when preparing this standard. One of the most important is the British / European Standard or better known as BS/EN12079,  containers certified to DNV 2.7-1 also comply with these standards.  
 
Most commonly DNV 2.7-1 Containers are used for storage, transportation and hiring on offshore sites. These containers are specifically designed for dynamic lifting with ISO block/padeyes, this allows easier stacking with ISO standard locks and they also have certified lifting slings equipped with shackles. They are provided with door cargo nets and door tie back retainers. Many are also stackable and fitted with forklifts pockets for easier movability, and internal lashing points are provided for secure cargo stowage.  

They are assessed at the design stage, and on their final stage they are tested to a Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI). This is a specialised technical method that provides information about the condition of materials and components, without destroying them! Did you know, these containers weigh nearly twice as much to their comparably sized ISO Container! This gives them the ability to maintain their upright position during transport through rough seas. 
 
So there you have it, DNV 2.7-1 is a certification supplied by Det Norske Veritas, which ensures the design, material and production of offshore containers is approved for use on offshore sites such oils rigs and wind farms.
