Solutions for Safe and Efficient Offshore Lifting Operations

MGS Offshore provides DNV offshore slings designed for safe, efficient offshore lifting.

Our DNV 2.7-1 sling sets ensure secure transport of containers from vessels to platforms, meeting strict offshore lifting standards and offering high redundancy for reliable performance in harsh conditions.

DNV Sling

  • The DNV Sling set brings an added value to the local Oil and Gas sector by raising industry standards, especially when providing DNV 2.7-1 slings sets for offshore containers and portable offshore units.
  • The DNV 2.7-1 Type Approval Sling Set is critical for safe transport, ensuring the container is safely moved from the vessel to the offshore platform.
  • The unique sling design allows for safety even in inclement weather conditions, often encountered during offshore lifting operations.
  • DNV Lifting Sling introduces higher redundancy factors and less risk for the end users, which increases the level of safety during offshore heavy lifting and cargo handling operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires that slings used in lifting operations be designed and inspected according to OSHA lifting standards. Slings must be made of durable materials, appropriately rated for weight capacity, and properly maintained to ensure safety during lifting operations.
A sling is a lifting device used to support an object during hoisting, while a hoist is the mechanical equipment used to lift and lower the load. Slings are typically made of wire rope, synthetic materials, or chain and are used in conjunction with hoists to complete the lifting operation.

Offshore lifting slings are designed to meet the higher safety and redundancy requirements of offshore heavy lifting operations, where environmental factors such as inclement weather and rough seas can impact lifting safety.

They are typically certified to meet DNV offshore lifting standards like DNV 2.7-1, whereas onshore slings may not have the same level of durability or redundancy factors. Offshore slings are built for harsher conditions and stricter safety protocols.

To ensure safety, offshore slings should be regularly inspected for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. This includes checking for fraying, cuts, or punctures in the material, ensuring that the sling’s rated capacity is clearly marked and intact, and verifying the DNV offshore lifting standard compliance.

Regular inspections should be performed by trained professionals, and slings that do not meet safety standards should be immediately replaced.

DNV offshore slings are critical in oil and gas due to their compliance with DNV 2.7-1 offshore lifting standards, which ensure the sling can withstand the dynamic loads, vibration, and harsh marine conditions common in offshore environments.

Their design prioritises safety, redundancy, and reliability, all crucial for lifting heavy equipment to and from offshore platforms.

Offshore slings play a vital role in safe cargo handling by ensuring load stability during offshore heavy lifting. With features like higher safety factors and weather-resistant construction, they minimise the risk of load shifting or failure during crane operations on oil rigs, FPSOs, and drillships.
Yes, DNV offshore slings are often used in conjunction with offshore lifting frames for handling oversized or heavy loads.
Offshore lifting slings are typically made from high-strength materials such as wire rope, chain, or synthetic webbing that are resistant to corrosion, UV exposure, and mechanical stress. For critical offshore applications, wire rope slings with DNV 2.7-1 certification are most commonly used.
In offshore oil and gas environments, offshore slings should be inspected before each use and undergo thorough periodic inspections per company policy and DNV or OSHA regulations.
Performance can be affected by load weight, sling angle, environmental conditions (like wind and waves), and wear from repeated use. That’s why offshore lifting slings are designed to include redundancy factors, corrosion resistance, and certifications under DNV offshore lifting standards.
Yes. For hazardous zones (Zone 1 or Zone 2), offshore slings can be paired with ATEX-certified lifting accessories and non-sparking rigging hardware. While slings themselves are passive equipment, their compatibility with certified systems ensures they meet the safety protocols for lifting in potentially explosive atmospheres.
