CONTAINERS, AND TOTE TANKS
4.1

General Transit Requirements

When materials are in transit, adhere to the following general requirements.
a) Any costs incurred for non-compliance with this NTC will be at the cost of the
vendor.
b) Anti-snagging: There must be no hooks, tag-lines, or tie-down points on opentop baskets or boxes, which could snag slings when being lifted. Also, eliminate
sharp, jagged edges.
c) The sides of containers should be relatively smooth and free from any
protrusions that might snag the lift slings or snag onto adjacent items during the
lift.
d) Approved inspections: Where it cannot be established that lifting equipment
has been inspected by a Nexen-approved lifting equipment Inspection
Company as detailed in Table 1 Inspection and Testing Requirements and
Frequency, the Nexen shore base shall have the option to return equipment to
the contractor or have the lifting equipment inspected and bill the contractor for
all costs associated with said inspection.
e) Baskets loads must be packed, secured, and balanced properly with a good
center of gravity and consideration given to shock loading.
f) Chains will not be used for lifting any item or equipment, with the exception of
engineered lifts only.
g) Drainage holes must be clear of debris and must not be blocked. All loose
debris or trash must be removed prior to the arrival at shore base from either
the contractor or rig. The responsibility for inspection of loose debris lies with
the contractor.
h) Dropped Objects: Contractor and shore base must check to ensure that there
are no loose items on, in, or beneath the containers or in any fork lift pockets in
the side base rails.
i) Vendor supplied flat-web or round; synthetic slings shall not be used for
slinging any piece of equipment. Only round, synthetic slings supplied by
Nexen shore base shall be used.

j) Protrusions: No item of equipment shall be permitted to protrude outside the

periphery of any open-top container (e.g. baskets) in an unsafe manner. If
equipment is supplied to the Nexen shore base with item(s) protruding outside
the periphery of an open-top container, Nexen shall remove such protruding
equipment and source an appropriate container and rigging to safely
accommodate the item(s) at the cost of the contractor.
k) Tie-down cleats: Equipment that is shipped in transit containers shall be
correctly secured with sufficient tie-down cleats so that the equipment arrives
fit-for-purpose using a proper securing mechanism (not Manila rope).
l) Used wire rope slings that exceed 60 months from the original in-service date
must be removed from service and destroyed.
m) Weights of cargo must be known and documented correctly on the shipping
and receiving transport manifest.
n) Exceptions to this NTC are strongly discouraged and it is Nexens expectation
that approved suppliers and contractors should conduct their operations in full
compliance with this NTC.
o) If a non-compliant CCU is delivered to the shore base, a detailed comment
outlining the violation shall be added to the NTC Checklist (Refer to Appendix C
Nexen Transit Code Checklist) in the Details of Non-compliance section and
the completed checklist shall be forwarded to the appropriate Drilling
Superintendent and/or Contract Sponsor.
p) If there are non-compliance issues with the NTC that cannot be rectified in a
timely manner and not adversely affect offshore operations, the Drilling,
Operations, Construction Superintendent and/or Shore Base Manager can
request that the non-compliance issues to the NTC be waived using the Nexen
MoC process.
q) Compliance violations from vendors necessitates 1 of the following:
i. The Variance Request Form (Appendix B) prepared by the Drilling,
Operations, Construction Superintendent and/or designee and Shore Base
Manager is sent via e-mail or fax to the Shore Base Dispatchers.
ii. The shore base personnel can safely place the non-compliance CCU into a
compliant CCU.
iii. The NTC violation does not conflict with any class society requirement or
regulation such as DNV, ABS, DOT, or other Nexen policy.
iv. The offshore location is willing to handle the non-compliant CCU as outlined
in the Variance Request Form.
The Shore Base Manager or his designee shall ensure that the Variance
Request Form is sent to the offshore location as part of the normal Voyage
Validation process and that a copy accompanies the Cargo Manifest to the
offshore location.
All exemptions shall be a 1-time only exemption for that CCU. The Drilling,
Operations, Construction Superintendent and/or Contract Sponsor shall

contact the vendor to discuss an action plan for correction of the noncompliance issue. As part of the action plan for correcting the noncompliance issue, the Drilling, Operations, Construction Superintendent
and\or Contract Sponsor should arrange for a Lifting Specialist to perform a
site-audit of the non-compliant vendor.
4.2

Transit Code Containers Design and Construction

The following industry standards will apply:
a) Industry Standard API RP 2D. Any classification standard will be acceptable
that meets or exceeds the API RP 2D code. In addition, CCUs should be
designed to ensure that all load-bearing components have sufficient strength,
rigidity, and quality to carry all materials/equipment safely and securely prevent
damage and/or loss of cargo, either onshore or offshore. The contractor is
responsible for reviewing the design, construction, and testing to ensure
equipment and containers meet NTC and industry recognized standards, such
as the Department of Transportation (DOT) and American Bureau of Shipping
(ABS).
b) The design working stress should be based on 2.5 times the maximum gross
weight of the transit container.
c) 4 lifting points are preferred, but 2 or 3 may be acceptable if they meet the
Maximum Gross Weight (MGW) limit lifting requirements as identified on the
basket.
d) Pad-eyes:
i.

Must not be flame cut.

ii. Must be drilled or bored. If cheek plates are fitted to pad-eyes, they will be
drilled or bored after fitting the cheek plates.
iii. The optimal dimension for pad eyes are for the hole through the pad eye to
be 10% larger than the diameter of the shackle that is meant to be fitted to it
with the width of the pad eye being 10% less than the shackle gap. There is
an allowance of 25% on each dimension for this revision only as to allow
vendors time to modify their equipment to meet the requirement of 10%.
Note

As of June 2015 the dimension shall be 10%.

iv. Should be positioned accurately for even loading of the slings. The position
of the pad-eyes on the transit container should be such that they minimize
the risk of the sling fouling on the transit container or fouling other lifts. ISO
connex-box locks (twist locks) should not be used as a substitute for padeyes as they are only designed for vertical loading.
e) The shackle jaw gap shall not be greater than 25 percent of the plate thickness
(1 Plate = 1 maximum shackle jaw gap). Pad-eyes shall be orientated in
such a direction that they are aligned to the direction of lift. Pad-eyes that are
not orientated to the direction of lift shall have their suitability confirmed by
NEXEN TRANSIT CODE

NXY000-080-SF-ST-0000-0003

Electronic documents residing within the Nexen Document Management System are controlled.
All printed documentation is considered uncontrolled.

evidence from a structural PE. Pad-eyes which have steel that has been bent to
meet this requirement are not allowed. Any pad-eyes which appears to be
visually deformed approximately greater than 5 percent of a 90 angle shall be
inspected by independent party and if confirmed be rejected. Nexen reserves
the right to reject any equipment with pad-eyes that visually appears to be
deformed greater than 5 percent without independent inspection.
f) Forklift pockets shall be of a design to minimize trapped debris and of sufficient
size to enable the forks to enter fully minimum dimensions 8 (L) x 4 (H). If the
fork lift pockets are fitted, they shall be fitted to the container frame or skid plate
and 2 inches clear of the ground.
g) All cargo baskets shall have solid floors with suitable drainage holes that will
not create a dropped object hazard and are not of mesh construction. If mesh is
used on the sides, a minimum of a 4 kicker plate shall be fitted to prevent
dropped objects. Do not confuse cargo baskets with specialized carriers. If the
unit is a carrier and specifically fabricated to carry specialized tools, then it does
not have to meet the above requirements.
h) Front-loading doors must have robust primary and secondary locking
devices/latches. Locking mechanisms must be protected from impact loads.
Secondary locking devices for front-loading doors should have a means to
prevent it being unintentionally broken-off and unlocked. When in the unlatched
position, there should be a proper designed storage location to prevent the
secondary locking device from being lost.
i) Bolted connections, if used as part of the load bearing structure, must have the
minimum Grade 8 or equivalent (stainless steel) and the bolts referenced in the
design drawing. At intervals of 6 months, 25 percent of the bolts will be
removed and visually inspected. After 60 months in service, they are destroyed.
j) Welding must be confirmed as being in compliance with American Welding
Society AWS D1.1 as a minimum.
4.3

Wire Rope Slings

When working with wire rope slings:
a) The sling assembly shall have a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1.5 times the
maximum gross weight of the transit container.
b) On tall transit containers, a stinger with D-ring shall be used. The stinger should
be of such a length that, at a minimum, it will hang over the side of the
container between shoulder and waist height.
c) All wire rope slings must conform to the intent of API RP 2D 6th edition and
AMSE B30.9. Major sling repairs/modifications are not permitted. Has the 6th
edition been approved if not should this read the latest approved edition of API
PR 2D.
d) Flat web or synthetic/nylon slings shall not be used for slinging any equipment
without a permit, except when removing equipment from pre-slung baskets.

Shackles
When working with shackles:
a) All shackles fitted to a transit container shall be bolt-type shackles (4 part: body,
bolt, nut, and cotter pin or other fit for purpose design).
Note

Welding rods, nails, R-clips, and other non OEM devices shall not
be used.

b) Each set of shackles should be able to support the maximum gross weight of
the transit container. Only American-made shackles shall be used.
c) All shackles shall be individually identified by 1 of the following methods:
i.

Hard stamping on the body of the shackle.

ii. Fitting a tag.

4.5

Vessel Tanks for Transporting Liquids

Vessels and tanks for transporting liquids of any type shall be labeled to DOT
requirements, which can be verified using the US DOT hazardous materials
compliance handbook. These vessels and tanks must also have:
a) A crash frame completely surrounding the container/vessel is a recommended
best practice.
b) Valves cable-tied closed (or similar).
c) A vent/pressure relief system appropriate for the liquid being transported.
d) Drip trays under any valves or other outlets as a recommended best practice.
e) An air inlet valve (vacuum protection).
f) Guards on any protrusions where damage to those protrusions could lead to a
spill of the product being transported.
Chemical tanks for hazardous goods and marine pollutants shall meet the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code. Other chemicals can be
transported in IM 101 type tanks if designed and certified in accordance with
the latest US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) or DOT Regulations and
comply with the Maritime Safety Committees latest recommendations for the
fluids being handled. They must be certified to a class society (Det Norte
Veritas [DNV], ABS) and load/lift tested accordingly, as required by the IMDG
(4 pt., 2 pt. diagonal, vertical impact). Small volumes of non-hazardous or nonmarine pollutant chemicals can be transported in tote-type tanks (certification
as per DOT regulations must be supplied). The vendor shall provide tote tanks
with crash frames or supply marine transportable tanks with the crash frame.

4.6

Gas Bottles
Gas bottles (of any type) shall be shipped in bottle racks. All bottles in bottle racks
