Types of Containerized Modules
Accommodation modules aboard an oil rig
Slide5ABS Portable Accommodation Modules (August 2019) sets standards for the following types of modules: Accommodation (offices, lounges)
Sleeping accommodation (sleeping cabins and hospitals)Industrial (workshops and laboratories)“Modules constructed on or after 15 January 2013 are to comply with the requirements contained herein. Existing modules to be installed onboard ABS classed units or vessels after 1 January 2018 are to comply with this guide.”
The following details are specified for design and certification of these types of modules:
Fire integrity of exterior boundaries
Piping requirements
Firefighting requirements
Doors and other closing appliancesSecuring to the deck and to other containers
Stacking arrangementsHazardous areas

Current Regulations
Slide6ABS Portable Accommodation Modules (August 2019) sets standards for the following types of modules: Areas of focus include the following:
Structural calculations for racking resistance, stacking of modules, and deck loadsVentilation cutoffs in the case of fire or other emergencyStructure around doorsDoor and ventilation sill heights
Securing containers to shipboard decks

Current Regulations
Slide7ABS Guide for Fire Fighting Systems for On-Deck Areas of Container Carriers (May 2017) Created to address the fire and safety risk of ships designed to carry containers nor above the weather deck, constructed on or after 01JAN16

Concerns for Shipboard Use: Access and Ventilation
Containerized module design is often driven by the assumption that access will only be required once the container is deployed
on
land OCONUS
Doors and environmental control units are frequently placed on the sides of containerized modules, precluding access or full use of stacked/closely placed containers onboard ships

Slide19Dissimilar metalsDifferent material specifications in different modules can lead to electrolytic corrosion problems
Accommodation modules require potable water supplyShipboard potable water can be supplied in copper piping, CUNI, or stainless steelElectricalStandard electrical supply to a shipboard container is 260V/50Hz
S
ome modules require 120V/60Hz, others 480V/60Hz, or 24V/400Hz
