Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

An offshore basket is a durable, enclosed, certified container built to offshore standards like DNV 2.7-1 or EN 12079.

This specific unit is designed for the secure lifting and transport of tools and equipment between shore bases and offshore installations or vessels operating in demanding marine environments.

Constructed from heavy-duty, corrosion-protected steel or aluminium, they must meet strict DNV 2.7-1 requirements, including verified toughness down to -20°C to eliminate the risk of cold-induced brittleness.

This essential material characteristic, alongside structurally sound reinforced lifting points, ensures the basket can be lifted safely and reliably even in extreme offshore conditions.

The basket includes several safety features such as wire rope lifting slings, safety pin bow shackles, and Flemish steel splice terminations.

These ensure the safe handling and secure transport of goods, reducing the risk of accidents during loading, unloading, and transit.

Renting an offshore basket is ideal for companies requiring a temporary storage or transport solution for specific projects. It allows businesses to access DNV-certified containers without the long-term financial commitment, ensuring flexibility in operations.

The price depends significantly on whether it’s a purchase or rental, the unit’s condition (new or used), specific features or customisations, and current market conditions.

Logistics costs for delivery, especially to offshore locations serviced also contribute to the overall fees.

Our unit features a fully enclosed, robust steel structure with lockable side doors, providing excellent security for contents. This design protects valuable tools and equipment from theft and unauthorised access in exposed offshore environments.

As required by DNV standards, it typically involves detailed visual examination for damage or wear, non-destructive testing (NDT) of critical welds and padeyes, and function checks of doors and locks.

These inspections are essential to maintain certification and ensure continued safe operation.

They can directly affect how efficiently cargo is stored, moved, and loaded across vessels and platforms.

Smaller baskets are easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces and ideal for lighter tools or equipment, while larger baskets maximise payload per lift but require more space and lifting capacity.

In essence, they can handle dynamic lifting stresses, potential impacts during transfer, extreme weather exposure (wind, rain, waves), corrosive saltwater atmospheres, and wide temperature variations found on offshore installations.

Some of the mishandling situations that may happen include not fully engaging the forks in the pockets, exceeding the forklift’s rated capacity and failing to ensure stability on uneven ground.

Proper operator training and situational awareness are key to avoiding these errors.
