Strength
Strength is calculated for: Lifting by lifting set Lifting by fork lift truck Local impact loads on the frame in sides and bottom Special calculations for pad eyes Load on walls and floor Strength calculations are verified by prototype testing
Slide 5
Strength
Design approval:
Strength is calculated: - Frame analyzes or simple manual calculations - Local strength, for instance padeyes, shear area in bottom fra,e or lifting sets Review of the design - Materials - Minimum thickness - Welds, details and special requirements Drawings are stamped and returned, with or without comments
Slide 6
Strength
Frame analyzis is typically done for:
long containers heavy containers open baskets containers with complex frames

Modelling/ calculations
Modelling of primary structure If the structure is symmetrical, it is only necessary to model

Slide 9
Modelling/ calculations
Add lifting set
Use beam elements that do not transfer bending moments
Some programs may have special elements that only take tension loads

Slide 10
Modelling/ calculations
Add boundary conditions
Top node is fixed
To achieve a valid solution, the model must be restricted from movement in horizontal direction.

Slide 11
Modelling/ calculations
Lifting test
Add suitable loads Payload and tare are to be distributed as realistic as possible Evenly distributed in a general cargo container or node loads if there are fixed load points. Load factor is 2.5 when using 4point lifting and 1.5 using 2-point lifting.

Pz = 2.5 x R x g
2. Check the deflection. Must not be greater than 1/300 of the span of the member.
3. Forces in the top node against the total design load. Must be equal to 2.5 x R x g

Design
Detail requirements Pad eyes Minimum material thickness Fork lift pockets Protrusions Top protection Doors and door locks are to be secured for unwanted opening Is the container to be weather tight? Painting and corrosion protection
Slide 14
Welding of padeyes
Not Acceptable
4.3.1: Main welds between the padeyes and the primary structure shall always be full penetration welds.
To obtain full penetration welding with this design the base plate is slotted into the top frame. Padeye is being prepared and welded with full penetration. Base plate are to have Zquality.
Pad eyes
Poor weld quality observed on several containers in a series
Slide 17
Pad eyes
One pad eye removed due to suspicion of unacceptable welding

Continuity
Continuity
Not acceptable
Acceptable
Knee bracket
Good solution

Protrusions
Protrusions
Protruding edge on padeye grinded down
Side protrusions
Door locking mechanism and hinges unprotected Other unacceptable protrusions Pork pockets have no shear area
Cargo protruding
Cylinders protrudes above frame Snagging hazard for slings in cylinder
ALSO: Padeyes not in line with slings Holes for shackle bolt too big Are the pad eye welds full penetration ? This Container is not approved to DNV 2.7-1
This stacking guide may snag e.g. on deck rail on supply vessel. Alternative designs should be considered.

Tank Containers
Tank Containers Tank containers are defined in Ch. 6.7 of the IMDG Code
The IMDG Code uses the term Portable Tank
- The term Tank container is only used for those portable tanks that comply with the definition of Container in the CSC Convention and for offshore tank containers
Portable tanks must be designed and fabricated according to a Recognized Pressure Vessel Code
Tank Containers 20 ISO tank container not suited for offshore use
Tank Containers
On offshore tank containers the tank is supported on 2 saddles and with a strong surrounding frame
Tank Containers
Marine transport of Dangerous Goods Selection of a tank container to carry a particluar dangerous cargo
Is the cargo classified? UN number? Danger class?
- Check the info. sheet for dangerous goods
Use the Tank Instruction number to find the particular requirements to the tank
- Part 4.2 of the IMDG
Select a tank container which fullfills these requirements, or design a new tank according to Part 6.7 in the IMDG Remember that the tank container must be certified!
What are the requirements to carry a special cargo in a tank container? Tank Instructions:
From Tank Instructions in column 13 we find Tank Instruction T7 for Methanol NOTE: In older IMDG codes the tank instruction for Methanol, given in column 12, was T4. Column 12 was deleted on January 1st 2010 and only column 13 can be used for all tanks, new and old
T7
Test pressure:4 bars Minimum thickness: 5 or 6 mm depending on tank diameter Safety valve: Normal, i.e. bursting disc not required Bottom closures: 3 closures in series:
- Internal valve - External valve - A bolted blank flange or screw cap
Marking:
Tank support
Tank is supported on doubling plates on the fork pockets.
The result?
Tank support
It is cracking! It corrodes! It will soon be falling apart!
Bottle racks:
A) with loose cylinders: the gas cylinders are certified at manufacturer, the container frame must be certified to DNV 2.7-1 B) If the gas cylinders are fixed and interconnected through a manifold with valves, the unit is defined in Ch. 6.2 of the IMDG Code as a gas cylinder bundle
