Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, these include mud-cutting skips intended for lifting to/from offshore installations. They generally require the same DNV 2.7-1 certification as offshore cargo containers to ensure they can be handled safely during high-risk crane operations.
It’s a purpose-built container specifically engineered for the safe collection, storage, and transportation of drilling waste, primarily drill cuttings mixed with used drilling fluid (mud), generated during offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities.
It is available in the PDF section above, detailing technical specifications, dimensions, capacities, and certifications of each product. Feel free to click and download our product brochures for your reference.

Usually, the unit is first positioned on offshore rigs to receive drill cuttings or used drilling fluids directly from solids control systems.

The waste is then deposited into the skip via an open top. Once full, the unit is sealed and lifted using pad eyes or forklift pockets, then transported to shore via vessel for safe disposal.

They usually encompass the rental or sale of DNV-certified offshore skips, including delivery to and collection from offshore locations, cleaning or wash-down services, and potentially coordination with approved onshore waste disposal facilities.
The weight limit varies depending on the size and design. For example, smaller skips have a payload capacity of 4,850 kg, while the larger ones can hold up to 9,300 kg. Depending on your needs, choose the one that safely accommodates your expected waste volume and density while complying with lifting regulations.

Their advantages include safe and efficient transport of drilling waste in offshore environments, compliance with environmental regulations, and cost-effective waste management.

These offshore waste skips are durable, built to withstand harsh marine conditions, and offer secure storage for mud cuttings during offshore operations.

These tailored solutions can be designed to meet specific requirements for offshore operations, such as customised sizes, payload capacities or optimising features like handling point placement (forklift pockets, pad eyes) to better suit specific transport logistics or vessel requirements.
They often require regular checks for damage, rust, and waste buildup. Lifting points, safety features, and seals must also be inspected to ensure the skip stays safe to use and meets offshore waste disposal standards.

It depends on whether you’re buying or renting. Cost is influenced by size, condition, design features, and certification.

Pricing for rentals is based on hire duration, skip type, and whether services like transport or maintenance are included. Delivery charges may also apply, depending on the offshore location.
