Confidently meet the demands of offshore environments with MGS Offshore’s living quarters, designed to ensure personnel safety, well-being, and productivity at sea.
All offshore accommodation cabins 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 container hire.
It’s a specialised unit with an A60 fire rating, designed to resist fire and smoke passage for 60 minutes while limiting heat transfer, ensuring the safety of occupants in emergency situations.
Unlike standard shipping containers, which are designed primarily for general cargo transport, A60 containers are purpose-built for the demanding offshore environment to withstand fire and hazardous conditions.
Depending on the model, each unit can typically support payloads of up to 25,000 kg. However, the final capacity is determined by structural reinforcements, internal configurations, and offshore specifications.
Due to the versatility of this configuration, A60 containers are also widely used as offshore laboratories, control rooms, workshops, kitchens, storage units for hazardous materials, and medical or quarantine modules.
Most accommodation units follow standard ISO footprints, commonly 10 FT or 20 FT lengths, for ease of transport and deployment. Heights and interior layouts, however, may vary based on project requirements and offshore specifications.
Absolutely! Clients are welcome to adjust internal layouts, furnishings, and systems to meet project needs while strictly maintaining DNV 2.7-1 / ISO 10855-1 / EN 12079 structural integrity and A60 fire safety compliance.
MGS Offshore cabins can also integrate additional safety systems, such as fire and gas detection, emergency lighting, and PAGA system links if required, to ensure personnel safety in offshore or high-risk environments.
They provide several advantages, including enhanced fire protection, compliance with offshore safety standards, robust structural integrity, and versatility for various applications, hence making them ideal for use in offshore platforms.
If your needs are temporary or project-based, renting is often more economical, as it eliminates heavy upfront investment.
However, if you require long-term shelter solutions, purchasing would be a more cost-effective and sustainable choice, providing long-term value and ownership.

Ideally, you should regularly inspect the fire-resistant insulation, structural integrity, and safety systems, such as emergency shutoff mechanisms.
It’s important to check for wear and tear, especially in harsh environments, and to repair any damage to ensure compliance with safety standards and optimal performance.
