ISO 10855 (all parts) meets the requirements of IMO MSC/Circular 8601] for the design, construction, inspection, testing and in-service examination of offshore containers and associated lifting sets which are handled in open seas.
This document does not specify certification requirements for offshore containers which are covered by the IMO Circular 860 and SOLAS. IMO MSC/Circ. 860 requires certification of offshore containers by national administrations or organizations duly authorized by the Administration”， which should take account of both the calculations and the testing, ” taking into account the dynamic lifting and impact forces that can occur when handling such equipment in open seas”.Further information about certification can be found in informative Annex A of this document.
ISO 10855 (all parts) does not cover operational use or maintenance, for which there are a number of industry guidelines which can be referred to. Some are listed in the Bibiograph.
Under conditions in which offshore containers are often transported and handled, the normal’ rate of wear and tear is high, and damage necessitating repair will occur. However, containers designed and manufactured according to ISO 10855(all parts) will have sufficient strength to withstand the normal forces encountered in offshore operations, and will not suffer complete failure even if subject to more extreme loads.
BS EN ISO 10855-3:2018 specifies requirements for the periodic inspection, examination and testing of offshore freight and service containers, built in accordance with ISO 10855‑1, with maximum a gross mass not exceeding 25 000 kg and their associated lifting sets, intended for repeated use to, from and between offshore installations and ships. Inspection requirements following damage and repair of offshore containers are also included.
Containers shall be fitted with a plate carrying the information specified in 5.2.
The plate shall be made of corrosion-resistant material securely attached externally in a manner designed to avoid unauthorized or accidental removal. The plates shall be fitted to a door, or on containers with no doors, in a prominent position.
Aluminium rivets have been found to be unsuitable as a fixing method in the offshore environment and shall not be used. The information on the plate shall be in the English language.
