Home / ISO Container Design
ISO containers are commonly used for housing all manner of diving equipment and diving system life support machinery, including dive and saturation control vans.
Mimir Marine Ltd can design, modify and importantly re-certify ISO CSC plated containers.
When a 'CSC-certified container' is modified, for example, by fitting water tight side doors, insulation, the fitting climate control unit cut-outs, and other power and water connection points, it is evident the containers whist starting life as an 'ISO, CSC-approved container' because of the modifications, is no longer 'standard', but classed as a 'special'.
Specials, or modified containers, when required to maintain their CSC-approved plate status, need to be 're-certified'. This process requires 'design appraisal' by one of the ten (10) IACS society, for example BV, DNV or Lloyds who would have approved or certified, and stamped the containers CSC plate at manufacture.
Whilst common minor modifications may be acceptable to the certification society and 'approved' on the basis of reviewing the 'calculations and method of work used' for the modifications. Some modifications may also require the container to undergo mechanical proof testing on a specialist mechanical test rig.
Mimir Marine Ltd has the working experience to accommodate our prospective client’s needs including concept through design of ISO 'special container' used for housing offshore plant and equipment including machinery 'skids' required to meet the ICAS society design rules as required.
