Although being versatile is not a goal on its own, it does pay off to be able to meet the ever-changing requirements of the offshore market. The saying ‘the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry’ is confirmed in the offshore market on a daily basis. Working around these changes of plan can be difficult and may even push your assets to the limits of their capabilities.
This is where ELA Container Offshore is able to alleviate the stress, using their highly versatile fleet of container modules. Whether you need additional storage facilities onboard your offshore assets, or you are looking to add workstations, office areas or even living quarters, ELA is able to assist. The offshore modules are available ex-stock and are suitable for deployment in any offshore environment, on both fixed- and mobile assets.
The challenge
In order to complete projects in the offshore environment, it is critical to ensure availability of all tools, resources and equipment onsite. These projects can involve a wide array of assets, ranging from offshore platforms to wind-turbines and vessels of any shape and size, but also includes monitoring stations, transmission towers and any other installation at, or below sea level.
Containers as a starting point
Whether used ‘just’ to transport items from A to B, or fully customised to meet the exacting requirements of a specific job, offshore certified containers have proven to be a perfect commodity to achieve the set goals. The container modules are designed for multi-modal transport, can be sea-fastened quickly and are stackable over multiple levels. Furthermore, offshore containers are coated to withstand the harsh conditions at sea.
ELA prefers to use standard ISO 10ft. and/or 20ft. modules, as these are easy to handle and have proven to be the most versatile in the market. Offering a perfect balance between footprint and space, the 20ft. high cube is at the core of the rental fleet.
The uses for these modules are literally limitless, but to give you an idea of common areas of use, we would like to highlight a number of applications.
