About this file
This document is a Container Specifications attachment detailing precise requirements for two containers to be used at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY). The containers must have a load capacity of at least 1500 pounds, interior dimensions of 72 x 27 x 27 inches, and include one shelf located 16 inches from the top on all four sides. Specific handling and lifting requirements mandate the containers be capable of vertical and horizontal orientation loading, with attachment points for crane lifting and forklift transport, and a removable top cover with gaskets for all bolted closures.
Additional technical requirements include painting the container black if made of carbon steel, stenciling tare and maximum payload weights on the exterior, providing a mercury-free certification, and submitting design drawings to NNSY technical contacts for approval after contract award. The containers must also meet specific federal regulations for radioactive excepted packages and include a certificate of compliance confirming all contract requirements have been met. The detailed specifications ensure the containers can safely transport complex loads with specific handling and positioning needs.
