About OffCon: OffCon is an MS EXCEL based checklist and calculation tool for verification of the design of
offshore containers. This program does not include any detailed analysis of the container framework. Detailed
frame analysis may be performed using DNV 3-D Beam or other beam calculation programs.
The program is copyright by Det Norske Veritas, and is based on the rule requirements of DNV Standard for Certification
2.7-1 January 2006. The program is available for clients applying for offshore container certification at DNV. Feedback and
comments are appreciated:

Refrence: Section 4.2.4 Impact loads

Please note! Here beam deflection and stress is calculated using simplified beam theory. If stresses exceed the yield stress
of the material or deflections exceeds the calculated maximum, more detailed analysis needs to be performed.
3 simplified cases are calculated. Bot ends fixed, both ends free, and one end fixed and one free. Steel with E-modulus
2.1x10^5 MPa Assumed. Results are given for actual span (yellow cells) and actual span +/- 500 mm (blue cells)

Remember that this check only give a preliminary indication if the pad eye is matching the shackle based on
pin diameter and pad eye thickness. Always remember to manualy verify that shackle and pad eye geometry
match. These calculation only check against Dee and Bow shackles listed in Table 2 in the EN 13889:2000
standard. Other dimensions may be acceptable
