53ft Offshore Cargo Basket (DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 Certified)
The 53ft Offshore Cargo Basket represents the ultimate solution for transporting extra-length casing, drill pipe, jointed tubing, risers, and large subsea assemblies to offshore oil and gas rigs and deepwater platforms. Engineered specifically for ultra-long cargo that cannot fit into standard 20ft or 40ft units, this 53-foot basket provides uncompromised structural integrity and crane-lifting safety during high-seas operations.
Fully certified to DNV 2.7-1 / BS EN 12079 and ISO 10855 international offshore standards, each unit is fabricated from heavy-gauge structural steel and finished with high-build zinc-rich marine epoxy paint for maximum salt-spray protection. Designed with corner guide posts for safe deck alignment, internal tie-down lashing points along the floor and side rails, and self-draining flooring, it comes complete with a certified DNV 2.7-1 4-leg wire rope sling set with safety bow shackles.
