2,500 Litre DNV 2.7-1 Offshore Tank Container

The 2,500 litre DNV 2.7-1 offshore tank container is a stainless steel portable tank in a certified lifting frame, built for moving liquids and chemicals to offshore installations and remote sites by crane. It is a T11 UN portable tank — one of the harmonised portable-tank instructions recognised under IMDG, ADR/RID and 49 CFR — inside a frame certified to the offshore container standard. Listed at $4,500. 2500L Offshore Tank Container Specifications Capacity: 2,500 litres / 550 imperial gallons / 660 US gallons Shell material: stainless steel External dimensions: 1.795 m (L) x 1.795 m (W) x 2.364 m (H) — 5 ft 10 in x 5 ft 10 in x 7 ft 9 in Tare weight: 1,400 kg (3,086 lb) Maximum gross weight, offshore: 6,500 kg (14,330 lb) Maximum payload, offshore: 5,100 kg (11,243 lb) Design temperature: -40°C to +50°C Forklift pockets: 280 mm x 112 mm on 1,155 mm centres Certification: DNV 2.7-1, BS EN 12079, CSC plated, T11 UN portable tank (IMDG, ADR/RID, CFR) Lifting: supplied with DNV 2.7-1 certified sling set and shackles Price: $4,500 What DNV 2.7-1 Certification Covers Offshore lifting is a different problem from lifting on land. A crane on a supply vessel is working from a deck that is moving in three axes, and a container being landed can arrive with a substantial vertical impact and a swing. DNV 2.7-1 is the standard that addresses it: it specifies the design loads for the frame, the sling arrangement and its certification, and the periodic inspection regime that keeps a unit in service. A standard road tank container in the same duty is a dropped-object incident waiting to happen — offshore operators will simply refuse it at the quay. Practical Details That Matter The units stack with their slings still attached, which sounds trivial and is not: on a congested supply base, having to rig and de-rig every unit as it comes off a vessel costs hours and creates lifting operations that would otherwise not happen. Forklift pockets let the same unit be handled on land without a crane. And stainless steel construction means it can carry an aggressive chemical and be cleaned for the next product rather than being dedicated to one duty. Applications Offshore drilling and production support, subsea and well services chemicals, remote site fuel and lubricant supply, marine and shipyard work, and any operation that needs a certified, craneable liquid container.
