The 8.3m Offshore Cargo Basket (27’ × 4’ × 4’) is engineered for the secure transport and lifting of long and heavy cargo in offshore and marine environments.
Fully compliant with DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079, this offshore container is designed to withstand demanding operational conditions while maintaining lifting safety and structural integrity.
Its stackable construction and compatibility with both forklift and crane handling make it suitable for repeated offshore mobilisation, vessel transport, and deck storage.
8.3m Offshore Cargo Baskets are available for both sale and rental, giving offshore operators, marine contractors and project teams the flexibility to choose between long-term ownership and short-term equipment hire.
This offshore cargo basket is manufactured and certified in accordance with internationally recognised offshore standards:
- DNV 2.7-1 – Offshore containers.
- BS EN 12079 – Offshore containers and lifting requirements.
- IMO MSC/Circ. 860 compliance.
- Classification support available via Bureau Veritas.
- DNV certification by Det Norske Veritas (available by special order).
These certifications ensure the basket is suitable for offshore lifting, transportation, and repeated mobilisation cycles.
The stackable offshore container design supports safer and more organised offshore logistics by enabling:
- Optimised use of deck and vessel space.
- Improved stability during transport and lifting operations.
- Easier management of multiple baskets during offshore campaigns.
This configuration is particularly suited for projects involving extended cargo lengths or multiple load units.
- Offshore drilling and production installations.
- FPSOs, construction vessels, and offshore support vessels.
- Offshore fabrication, maintenance, and upgrade projects.
- Transport of long equipment, tools, and packaged materials.
- Temporary offshore storage during project execution.
- Proven DNV 2.7-1 & EN 12079 certification.
- Engineered for offshore safety and durability.
- High payload capacity for long and heavy cargo.
- Stackable design for operational efficiency.
- Custom certification and lifting configurations available.
