DIVING EQUIPMENTS

Machinery Container 20ft & 10ft

Every commercial diving operation needs a machinery room it can rely on, and that is exactly what the Machinery Container from JK Subsea Engineering Pvt. Ltd. delivers. As an experienced Machinery Container manufacturer and supplier, we design, manufacture and supply this self contained diving support container in line with IMCA D018 and D023 guidelines, offered in 20ft and 10ft Standard ISO Shipping Container format, CSC and TIR approved. Inside, it brings together everything a diving spread depends on, LP and HP breathing air compressors, a breathing air filter, a breathing air cylinder quad, a pressure reservoir tank and a hydraulic power unit, all housed in one weatherproof enclosure. The 20ft Machinery Container splits its interior into a dedicated Machinery Part and a Supervision Cabin for the dive team, while the 10ft Machinery Container, listed as Model No. JK1MC, keeps the full space for machinery, giving contractors a lighter, equally dependable option. As a dedicated diving support container and containerized breathing air system supplier, JK Subsea Engineering Pvt. Ltd. manufactures and supplies Machinery Containers for commercial diving contractors, offshore support vessels and subsea construction projects.
