Understanding the Importance of Safety and Compliance in Offshore Containers or Cargo Carrying Units (CCU) Knowledge
Introduction
In offshore operations, safety is non-negotiable. Whether supporting oil and gas platforms or energy exploration at sea, every piece of equipment must comply with strict international standards — and offshore containers or cargo carrying units are no exception.
At BERKAH, as the Indonesia exclusive agent of Swire Energy Services, we deliver offshore containers or Cargo Carrying Units (CCU) that meet the highest certification standards, including DNV 2.7-1. But what does this certification really mean?
Let’s explore what makes an offshore container truly DNV 2.7-1 certified — and why it matters for your offshore project.
What is DNV 2.7-1?
DNV 2.7-1 is an internationally recognized certification standard developed by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) for offshore containers. It defines the design, manufacturing, testing, and inspection criteria to ensure offshore containers or CCU can withstand harsh maritime environments and dynamic lifting operations.
The goal?
✔️ Minimize risk
✔️ Ensure safety of personnel and cargo
✔️ Maintain reliability during transport and handling

Key Components of a DNV 2.7-1 Certified Offshore Container
- Robust Structural Design
Engineered to handle extreme offshore conditions including dynamic lifting, impact loading, and harsh weather exposure. - Lifting and Sling Integrity
Fitted with certified lifting sets (slings and shackles) tested according to international lifting protocols. - Material Quality
Uses high-grade steel and corrosion-resistant coatings to ensure long-term durability. - Stackability and Load Distribution
Designed for space-efficient stacking and uniform weight distribution for safer offshore deck operations - Quality Control and Traceability
Every container undergoes rigorous NDT (non-destructive testing), load testing, and full documentation for traceability.
Why This Certification Matters to Your Offshore Project
✅ Reduces Liability Risks
Using uncertified containers exposes your project to potential failure during lifting, legal non-compliance, and reputational damage.
✅ Ensures Operational Efficiency
Certified containers integrate smoothly into global offshore workflows and are accepted by major operators.
✅ Builds Stakeholder Confidence
A DNV-certified unit reflects your commitment to professionalism, compliance, and safety — all essential in the energy sector.
