FAQ

Recertification is a mandatory safety and compliance process that involves inspecting, testing, and verifying that offshore containers, tanks, and lifting equipment continue to meet current regulatory standards. This process helps reduce operational risks and ensures your equipment remains fit for offshore deployment.
We recertify a wide range of offshore assets, including:
  • Offshore containers (basket, mini, freezer, chemical)
  • IBC tanks and acid tanks
  • Lifting frames and pad eyes
  • Pressure vessels and storage modules
  • Custom-engineered offshore equipment
Our recertification process typically includes:
  • Initial inspection and visual assessment
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) such as MPI or UT
  • Load testing or pressure testing
  • Repairs or refurbishment (if required)
  • Documentation review and traceability check
  • Re-certification by authorised body
  • Issuance of new certificate and compliance plate
As per DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 standards, offshore containers typically require recertification every 12 to 24 months, depending on usage and regional safety regulations. We help clients stay compliant with scheduled reminders and service plans.
Yes. We provide structural engineering support and liaise with certification bodies to ensure all lifting equipment complies with international offshore handling standards.
We collaborate with globally recognised approval agencies including:
  • DNV-GL (Det Norske Veritas – Germanischer Lloyd)
  • ABS (American Bureau of Shipping)
  • Lloyd’s Register (LR)
  • Bureau Veritas (BV)
  • NSAI (National Standards Authority of Ireland)
  • RSA (Recognised Safety Authority)
This ensures your recertified equipment meets international offshore safety and compliance standards.
Yes. We can recertify containers and offshore units built by other manufacturers, provided the equipment meets structural integrity standards and relevant documentation is available for review.
To streamline the process, we typically request:
  • Original manufacturer’s drawings or design specifications.
  • Previous certification records.
  • Maintenance or repair history (if available)
Our engineering team will assist you in retrieving or reconstructing any missing documentation when possible.
Yes, depending on the equipment type and location, we offer both on-site recertification at your facility or vessel, as well as off-site services at our certified workshop.
Absolutely. We manage the entire process from inspection and testing to certification and documentation. We liaise directly with DNV, ABS, BV, and other bodies to ensure smooth and compliant recertification without delays.
Yes. We work with clients across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Whether your operations are local or global, we can support export compliance, international safety codes, and cross-border documentation requirements.
Pricing depends on the type, size, condition, and certification body involved. Standard recertifications are typically cost-effective, but repairs or missing documents may require additional charges. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Turnaround time varies depending on the scope of work. Most standard container recertifications can be completed within 7–14 business days. Urgent requests can be accommodated with priority scheduling.

You can submit your enquiry via our Quick Quotation Form or email us directly at sales@mgsoffshore.com. Please include details about the equipment type, current certification status, and service location.
