What We Supply to Ghana Offshore Operations

From secure storage for tools and solutions for transporting heavy cargo, to specialist equipment for offshore operations, we supply a full product range of DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 certified offshore containers and equipment to meet these needs.

Offshore Storage Containers

Our offshore storage containers provide a secure, protected, practical space for equipment, tools, consumables and other supplies, with their stackable nature helping keep essentials organised when space is tight.

Half-Height Containers

Loading heavy and large cargo can present distinct challenges in offshore conditions. Our half-height containers offer a practical solution for heavy items such as drill pipe, casing and downhole equipment as their lower profile can help reduce the centre of gravity of a loaded unit. This makes them useful for applications where cargo dimensions, weight distribution and crane handling are important considerations.

Cargo Baskets

Cargo baskets are designed to accommodate oversized equipment and irregular loads that may not fit into a standard offshore container and can be used to transport project cargo between supply bases and offshore facilities. Depending on the lifting requirements, units can be supplied with certified lifting sets, wire rope slings and shackles.

Offshore Reefers

Some offshore supplies need to remain within a controlled temperature range during transport and storage. Our 10’ and 20’ DNV offshore reefers have a cooling range from -30°C to +20°C providing a regulated solution for food supplies, perishable goods and other temperature-sensitive materials.

Waste Skips

Waste handling is an important consideration in offshore oil and gas operations, with waste skips providing a practical way to collect and transport waste.

Our 13′ offshore waste skips can be used to lift and transport non-hazardous waste while our range of mud cutting skips are used for the transfer, transportation and handling of drill cuttings, discarded mud and drilling fluids.

Portable Tanks & Chemical Containers

Transporting and storing fuel, chemicals and other hazardous liquids offshore requires the right equipment. We supply Bureau Veritas certified portable tanks for hazardous liquids and helifuel tanks for aviation fuel, as well as cryogenic tanks for liquid nitrogen, all designed to withstand challenging offshore environments.

Offshore Offices & Workshops

Offshore offices require customised solutions with our offering built to your specifications and certified to offshore standards, ensuring a practical, safe and dedicated workspace for personnel.
