In early February 2010, DNV achieved a significant milestone, certifying the organisation’s 100,000th offshore container. DNV’s Certification 2.7-1 for Offshore Containers has become the industry standard. Manufactured by IFS (International Fabrication Services Co. Ltd, a company in the Sure Tank Group), the offshore container was certified during a ceremony at the IFS’ factory in Rayong Thailand, and delivered to the customer, Ferguson Seacabs. The container will be used by its owner in Aberdeen for marketing and exhibition, later this year it will be shipped to Stavanger for the Offshore Northern Seas exhibition. The ceremony was attended by Eirik Ellingsen CEO of Ferguson Seacabs, Patrick Joy and Niall Lund of Sure Tank, and Andrew McDowell, Managing Director of IFS. DNV was represented by Jan Egil Amundsen, Country Manager for DNV in Thailand and Mr Raymond Poh, DNV2.7-1 Co-ordinator from DNV Singapore, among others.
