Offshore Containers for Offshore Purposes - BSL Containers

BSL Offshore containers are transport units that are used primarily in the oil industry. The point, however, is that they are used in an offshore environment and they are very unlike your usual marine containers.

BSL Offshore containers, because they are used in an offshore environment, have to go through stringent certification procedures. From the container itself to the shackles and slings that are used to lift the containers, everything has to meet a certain set of specifications.

The materials used in the primary structure involve carbon steel, carbon-manganese micro-alloyed steel or low-alloyed steel, and carbon-manganese steel. The rolled steel that is made to create these structures has to meet certain requirements before the containers can ever be constructed. The containers then have to meet another set of requirements before they are ever put into service.

Aluminum is also used in offshore containers because it helps to avoid galvanic corrosion. The aluminum in offshore containers consists of wrought alloys. You will not see non-metallic materials being used in offshore containers. This could compromise their durability. If their durability is compromised, then so is the safety of the eco system and those working around the materials being transported by the offshore containers.

BSL Offshore containers are also certified to DNV 2.7-1 and constructed in a way that they will not tip. The containers are designed to withstand a 30 degree tilt if it must. They are also constructed so that they don't have protruding parts sticking out anywhere on the container. This is so damage to other containers can be avoided. There are, however, some instances in which protruding parts may be needed, but deflector plates may be put in place at the protrusions. Such is true with pad eyes because they may protrude at the top of the container. In this case, stacking fittings can be provided to avoid damage to other containers.

It may seem as if BSL offshore containers are quite complicated, but it is important to keep in mind that they are very important in offshore use. They are more suitable than your standard marine container in the oil industry and various other industries. A lot more is put into the creation and certification process for added quality and security.
