APPENDIX H

GUIDELINES FOR THE PHASE OUT OF ISO SHIPPING CONTAINERS OFFSHORE

Page 73

APPEA

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Phase Out of ISO Containers

SCOPE

Provision of procedures & guidelines to manage the use of ISO containers used in the offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry. The document provides guidelines for the inspection, testing and marking of ISO containers used in the transport of goods to and from offshore locations.

IDENTIFICATION OF ISO CONTAINERS

ISO containers are the containers originally built for international shipping and fitted with ISO Corner fittings and lifted in container ports, from these fittings, with a purpose built spreader frame and special Twist-locks. The containers are designed and rated for use in still water ports and not for offshore use where significant dynamic forces occur during lifting operations. Most ISO containers are 20ft in length although 10, 30 & 40ft lengths are also available. Note: Purpose built offshore containers may also have ISO Corner fittings. This is acceptable, provided that they are used only for securing during transport and/or onshore/inshore lifting in accordance with onshore/inshore container lifting guidelines as detailed in AS 3711.10:1993 Freight Containers Handling and Securing.

CONTROLLED USE OF ISO CONTAINERS

Containers used in international shipping are controlled by the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC). When the containers used in international and/or coastal shipping reach the end of their service life, either through condition or a time life expiry they are often sold off without current CSC compliance. Existing CSC compliance plates do not apply to the offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry except as a reference for de-rating the container in accordance with this these guidelines. The CSC compliance plate is to be retained for this purpose. ISO containers without compliance plates should be condemned.

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Phase Out of ISO Containers

ALLOWABLE ISO CONTAINER STYLES & LENGTHS

Closed roof, ISO containers up to 20 ft. in length are acceptable for offshore transportation in accordance with these guidelines.

Open top style, ISO containers and any ISO container over 20 ft in length are not acceptable for offshore transportation.

MODIFICATIONS TO ISO CONTAINERS

Any ISO container that has been modified from the original CSC design must have engineering calculations to support the continued integrity of the container. Unlike a purpose built offshore container, which is designed to carry full load on primary structure members, ISO containers rely on the integrity of wall panels for primary strength. Such modifications may include: Addition of extra doorway Alteration to length Addition of Pad eyes

PHASING OUT ISO CONTAINERS FROM OFFSHORE INDUSTRY

Contractors currently utilising ISO containers are expected to reduce the number in use up to the phase out date of 31 December 2000 and replace them with purpose built offshore shipping containers. The APPEA Guidelines for Lifting Equipment provide guidance for the design of purpose built offshore shipping containers.

COMMENTARY ON LIFTING POINTS

Even in a still water port situation, ISO shipping containers cannot be lifted from the ISO Corner fittings by shackles and slings. This applies even when empty. Lifting with spreader frames as used in port situations is not allowed in offshore lifting operations. Refer to IMO MSC circular 860

ISO containers used in the offshore industry should have pad eyes that are purpose built. Refer to Pad eyes below.

Figure 3: Shackles in ISO corner fittings are not permitted

Figure 4: Although not generally required when container is down-rated, lifting with special lifting beams will be allowed during phase out. Must be fitted to pad eyes as shown.

Page 75

APPEA

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Phase Out of ISO Containers

PAD EYE REQUIREMENTS

The following guidance is provided for the installation of pad eyes: design by qualified structural engineer; design verification by independent engineer, who has not been involved in the design; carry MGM on 2 diagonally opposite pad eyes; align to the centre of gravity of the load shackle pin hole to be +3mm or, not greater than 4% more than the shackle pin diameter; width of pad eye to be equal to 75% of the opening of shackle to be fitted. This may be accomplished by fitting bosses to pad eye; material trace-ability; documented welding procedures (To AS1554, AWSD1.1 etc.); welder qualification trace-ability; and NDT inspection of all welding associated with pad eyes. Notes: 1. The installation of pad eyes must have engineering trace-ability. 2. Refer to section 5.8 for pad eye design.

ALLOWABLE MGM (Maximum Gross Mass)

ISO Containers used in the offshore industry where significant dynamic forces occur during lifting from supply vessels must be significantly de-rated. Subject to inspections in accordance with these guidelines, ISO container use up to the phase out date will be allowed provided that the following is applied: The container is de-rated by multiplying original CSC Maximum Gross Weight (or Mass) x 2 and dividing the figure by 5. eg. For a 24 tonne MGM container: (24 x 2) =9.6 tonnes MGM 5

MARKING REQUIREMENTS

All ISO containers, original or modified, shall have a stencilled marking beside the CSC data plates indicating Not Applicable. The plate should remain to indicate the original MGM that is used in the de-rating formula above. Marking plates are required for: Operational Marking Plate (Tare, Nett & Gross) Test Plate (date of test and inspections) Each container should be marked with a unique identification number issued by the owner. The number should be: 1. cross-referenced on all relevant documentation; and 2. prominently displayed on a minimum of 2 sides of the container in contrasting colours with stencilled characters of not less than 75 mm in height. Note: Refer to Figures 5 &6 for details of plates.

Page 76

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Phase Out of ISO Containers

FORKLIFT POCKETS

ISO Containers often have more than 1 set of fork-lift pockets. Extreme caution should be used when lifting a laden ISO container from the fork-lift pockets. If there are two sets of fork-lift pockets, with one set being close to the centre of the container, the inner set are designed for Empty lifting only. These words must be stencilled on the base frame adjacent to fork-lift pockets when such fork-lift pockets are installed. Stencilling should be 75mm in height. There are instances where ISO containers have been modified and appear to have useable fork-lift pockets on more than two sides, this can be a dangerous situation as fork-lift pockets have been found that have the fork tines bearing on a plywood floor. Check before using and at scheduled inspection.

SLINGS

Sling sets may be chain or wire rope. The following is recommended: four leg sling assemblies are preferred; maximum included (apex) sling angle of 60 degrees and; chain used in stingers (or 5th leg) must meet ISO 3076, or ISO 7593 standards. Note: The use of stingers is discouraged as the redundancy in a 4 leg assembly is lost.

SHACKLES

Shackles must be: Grade S minimum; and Safety pin type with split pin fitted. ISO containers must receive a thorough visual inspection both annually and prior to any load testing. NDT Inspection of pad eyes and floor support structure is to be carried out annually and prior to load testing. All thorough visual inspections and NDT must be recorded in a lifting equipment database.

CONTAINER INSPECTIONS

THOROUGH VISUAL & NDT INSPECTIONS (ANNUAL REQUIREMENT)

door latching mechanisms in good working order (where applicable); container is free from obvious defects, corrosion, impact damage, cracks, etc; under-floor support structure inspection. The floor support structure is very light in an ISO container and is prone to extensive corrosion and cracking when used in the offshore environment; place container on supports to allow full inspection of underside and ensure adequate lighting; look for corrosion and/or any cracking; it may be necessary to sand blast corroded steel to allow full inspection; suspected areas of cracking to have NDT inspections carried out; steelwork that has suffered significant (greater than 10%) metal loss through corrosion is to be replaced; complete structure to be examined for corrosion, cracking, and impact damage. Particular attention is to be given to inspection of lifting points and corner post assemblies; visually inspect all welds for defects; NDT all welds in pad eye area. (NATA accredited NDT facility required); inspect for signs of mechanical damage;

Page 77

APPEA

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Phase Out of ISO Containers

VISUAL INSPECTORS KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS

doors, frames, seals, hinges, locks should be examined and functionally checked to ensure satisfactory operation without undue force; check floor is substantially flat with no signs of damage or other indications that may indicate overloading. Any internal floor damage may indicate underside damage- re-check; and marking plates should be as per requirements of these guidelines.

TESTING AN ISO CONTAINER

The target date for the phase out of ISO containers for use in the offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry is 31 December 2000. Hence it is recommended that any containers currently in use undergo the following load test (subject to satisfying inspection requirements) which would see them through to phase out date. Testing of container as per Testing Requirements as detailed in IMO 613 & MSC 860. (Drop test will not be required)

TESTING PROCEDURES

Prior to load testing carry out thorough visual inspection as detailed within this document as there is no value in testing a container that has defects. 4 Point Lifting Test: Internal Load (not to be hung under container): a uniformly distributed load, such that the combined tare of the container and test load is equal to 2.5 times the de-rated MGM. The container should be lifted with its lifting set attached to all four pad eyes. 2 Point Lifting Test: Internal load (not to be hung under container): a uniformly distributed load such that the combined tare of the container and test load is equal to 1.5 times the de-rated MGM. It may be necessary to secure the weights to prevent slippage during testing. The container should be lifted with slings attached to two diagonally opposite pad eyes during the test. Drop Test: Drop testing of ISO containers is not recommended. Drop testing is required when type testing future new container designs.

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Inspection, Testing and Marking of Offshore Containers

PREAMBLE
The purpose of these guidelines is to address integrity requirements for existing offshore containers. They do not address the requirements for new container fabrication or the concerns with ISO containers. These guidelines provide lifting equipment testing facilities guidance on consistent minimum quality requirements for testing offshore containers. APPEA encourages all offshore container owners and their agents to utilise inspection services that have been accredited by NATA (or equivalent overseas organisations) to carry out inspections and/or tests in accordance with this guideline. If the required documentation needed to obtain a Certificate of Conformity as detailed within this guideline is not available to support the integrity of the container to be inspected and/or tested, the container should not be approved for offshore use. This may require that engineering drawings be developed and calculations carried out to verify the design of the container as being fit for intended service. Without all required information, a Certificate of Conformity should not be given for the container.

DOCUMENT SCOPE

Provide guidelines for the inspection, testing and marking of a wide range of containers, baskets, skips etc. used in the offshore oil & gas exploration and production industry.

INTRODUCTION

The range of shapes, sizes and capacity of containers used in the offshore industry makes it difficult to specify all requirements that need to be met for each individual design. This document provides specifics on some matters affecting safety of containers whilst other areas may offer guidance only. It is the joint responsibility of both the equipment owner and the inspection and/or testing facility to ensure that all containers used within the offshore industry are fit for the intended service.

COMMENTS ON DESIGN OF OFFSHORE CONTAINERS

It is recognised that there are many containers in use within the Australian offshore oil & gas industry that may not be correctly engineered for the service. The guidelines and procedures provided in this document will assist in ensuring that every container used within the oil and gas exploration and production industry has engineering drawings and design calculations to support the Maximum Gross Weight indicated on the container. Without the required documentation the testing facility will have no ready method of determining if the Maximum Gross Weight (MGM) nominated by the owner, is in fact a safe working load to be applied. New containers will be fabricated to stringent guidelines and will be built to recognised standards such as DNV 2.7-1. This will automatically provide the quality that this document seeks to introduce to existing containers.

JUSTIFICATION OF ALLOWABLE MGM (Maximum Gross Mass) OF EXISTING CONTAINERS

Existing containers may need to be down-rated due to the more stringent testing requirements. It is recommended that container owners carry out a review of existing design MGM ratings to ensure that the container(s) will meet the testing requirements of 2.5 times MGM. It may be necessary to revise the container MGM and to update drawings as required, indicating new ratings.

PAD EYE REQUIREMENTS

One of the most critical areas in the fabrication of an offshore container is the pad eyes and their attachment to the container. For this reason the following are recommended for offshore containers. the installation of pad eyes must be carried out in accordance with good engineering practices; no bolted on pad eyes are permitted; pad eyes must be welded to the primary structure of the container; Note: For existing containers of monocoque construction, a detailed engineering assessment of the pad eye connection is required; design carried out by a qualified structural engineer and checked by an independent engineer; for design purposes, the design load is to be carried on two diagonally opposite pad eyes; align to centre of gravity of the loaded container; shackle pin hole to be +3mm or, not greater than 4% more than the shackle pin diameter; width of pad eye to be equal to 75% of the opening of shackle to be fitted. This may be accomplished by fitting bosses (cheek plates) to pad eye; material traceability where appropriate material with through thickness properties is to be specified. (Lamellar Defects); documented welding procedures (To AS1554, AWSD1.1 etc.); welder qualification trace-ability; and NDT inspection of welding by MPI for all fillet welds & a combination of Ultra Sonic and MPI for full penetration welds. Notes: 1. The installation of pad eyes must have engineering trace-ability. 2. DNV 2.7-1 provides full details of container design and material requirements and designers are encouraged to use the DNV document as a guide. .

GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Monocoque construction is not to be used in new offshore container fabrication and/or designs ie. A Primary structure is required. For all other design requirements for new offshore containers, refer to DNV2.7-1 Certification Notes Offshore Containers.

MARKING REQUIREMENTS

All Offshore containers shall have the following: Operational Marking Plate (Tare, Nett & Gross); Test Plate (date of tests and inspections); and Each container should be marked with a unique identification number issued by the owner. Notes: 1. The above referenced unique number should be cross-referenced on all relevant documentation, including the Certificate of Conformity. 2. The number should be prominently displayed on at least 2 sides of the container in contrasting colours with stencilled characters of not less than 75 mm in height.

COMMENTS ON LOAD TESTING OF OFFSHORE CONTAINERS

The load test requirements for offshore containers used in Australian waters have traditionally been taken from Marine Orders Part 32 as published by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. However, it is recognised that the table published in Marine Orders Part 32 is not suited to offshore containers and these guidelines recommend that the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) be applied. IMO have issued a circular (613) that details testing requirements for offshore containers. This circular, referenced in Marine Orders part 44, paragraph 11 is to be replaced by circular MSC 860.

LOAD TESTING

Prior to load testing, carry out thorough visual inspection as detailed within this document. There is no value in testing a container that has defects. NDT Carry out NDT inspection on pad eye welds prior to and following load testing. There will be no point load testing if pad eye welds have existing faults. 4 Point Lifting Test: Internal Load (not to be hung under container): a uniformly distributed load, such that the combined tare of the container and test load is equal to 2.5 times the rated MGM. The container should be lifted with its lifting set attached to all four pad eyes. 2 Point Lifting Test: Internal load (not to be hung under container): a uniformly distributed load such that the combined tare of the container and test load is equal to 1.5 times the rated MGM. The container should be lifted with slings attached to two diagonally opposite pad eyes during the test.

DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO LOAD-TESTING

The following requirements apply to any offshore container including baskets, bottle racks, waste skips, completion baskets, workshops, stores and any other structure used to transport goods to and from offshore facilities. The equipment owner (or user) is required to provide the testing facility with advice regarding design drawings and design calculations as detailed on Page92.This information is required to enable the testing authority to issue a Certificate of Conformity that will confirm that the subject container meets the requirements of these Guidelines.

COMMENTARY ON CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY APPROVED OFFSHORE CONTAINERS

When a container with classification society certification is presented to a NATA accredited facility for load testing, the facility is not required to verify the design. The NATA accredited facility can proceed with load testing the container and issue the Load Test Certificate on the strength of the Class Society Certification approval and the satisfactory load test. Advice regarding the engineering drawings and design calculations detailed below is not required for a classification society approved container. Maintaining classification society certification will provide acceptance of the container at other locations throughout the world.

NATA ACCREDITED

FACILITY RESPONSIBILITIES

and testing according to these guidelines, the facility management is responsible for ensuring the safety of offshore containers.

ALLOWABLE DEFLECTION DURING & SUBSEQUENT TO LOAD TESTING

Allowable deflection limits are detailed within DNV 2.7-1 Certification notes Offshore Containers. Refer to sections 3.7.1.2 & 3.7.1.3 of referenced DNV document.

COMMENTS ON DEFLECTION LIMITS SLINGS

Where deflection exceeds the maximum allowable limit, the container should be either, de-rated, strengthened, or scrapped.

Sling sets may be chain or wire rope. Material for chain used in 5th leg of a 5 leg assembly must comply with ISO 3076.

SHACKLES

Shackles must be: Grade S minimum Safety pin type with split pin fitted Bow shackles are preferred The following should be considered when undertaking certified visual inspection container is free from obvious defects, significant corrosion, impact damage, cracks, etc; under-floor support structure inspection; place container on supports to allow full inspection of underside and ensure adequate lighting; look for extensive corrosion and/or any cracking; it may be necessary to sand blast corroded steel to allow full inspection; suspected areas of cracking to have NDT inspections carried out; steelwork that has suffered metal loss of 10% or greater through corrosion, is to be replaced Note: This may require UT checks to quantify metal loss; complete structure to be examined for corrosion, cracking, and impact damage. Particular attention is to be given to inspection of lifting points, under-side members and corner post assemblies; visually inspect all welds for defects; inspect for signs of mechanical damage; doors, frames, seals, hinges, locks should be examined and functionally checked to ensure satisfactory operation without undue force; check floor is substantially flat with no signs of damage or other indications that may indicate overloading. Any internal floor damage may indicate underside damage- re-check; and marking plates in accordance with these guidelines.

CERTIFIED VISUAL INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Guidelines for Lifting Equipment - Inspection, Testing and Marking of Offshore Containers

TESTING OF WORKSHOP CONTAINERS, LOGGING UNITS ETC.

It is recognised that it is extremely difficult, and in some cases impossible, to fit the required test weights into containers that have work benches, shelving etc. It is also impossible to fit weights into many logging units and other container style cabins that either are full of specialised equipment used by service companies or, only have personnel access doors. In the case of these units it is recommended that more stringent inspection requirements apply to these units in lieu of any load testing.

6 YEARLY INSPECTION OF WORKSHOP CONTAINERS, LOGGING UNITS ETC. THAT CANNOT BE LOAD TESTED

Where test weights cannot be evenly distributed across the floor area of any container, logging unit etc. the following inspection methods shall be used to ensure the on-going integrity of the equipment. These requirements shall be additional to the annual, thorough visual and NDT inspection requirements previously outlined. Note: This method of integrity assurance will be in lieu of load testing and will only be carried out by facilities accredited with NATA for visual or NDT inspection or Classification Societies (e.g. DNV, Lloyds etc.) Place container on racks to allow full underside inspection. Note: Do NOT walk underneath containers suspended by fork-lift or cranes. Abrasive blast 25% of under-floor structural welds. Carry out MPI on all welds cleaned by blasting Where cracking is found in the underside should be completely abrasive cleaned and all structural welds inspected by MPI method. Carry out UT testing of any under-side structural members suspected of having areas of > 10% metal loss. Note: If any metal loss of > 10% is detected, the remaining structural members shall also be UT checked for metal loss. Carry out repairs as required using approved welding procedures, qualified welders and trace-able materials equivalent to the original structure members as detailed on the engineering drawings. Carry out MPI on all weld repairs and rectify any faults detected. Re-coat underside of container with a suitable coating for the offshore environment. NATA accredited facility shall provide the equipment owner with a stick diagram of the container underside. The diagram shall identify members and joints inspected. The equipment owner should ensure that all QA documents relating to repairs carried out are complied and retained on file for future reference.

Note: Whilst the abrasive blast requirements may, at first seem to be quite extensive, it will, in most cases be advantageous as many containers will require re-application of coatings (particularly underneath) at the end of 6 years and this work will fit well with that requirement.
