A manufacturing firm operating at the Pt Lisas Industrial Estate has won international certification for its locally-built offshore containers from Norwegian-based Det Norske Veritas (DNV), one of the world’s leading maritime classification societies.
The local firm - Industrial Welding Equipment Sales & Rentals Limited (IWES) - is the first manufacturer of offshore containers from Trinidad and Tobago to be awarded the prestigious level of certification, says its Senior Project Manager, Larry Drakes.
Several types of offshore containers built by IWES earned Type Approval Certification, listing them as compliant with worldwide industry standards DNV 2-71, EN 12079, as well as IMO MSC Circular 860.
