Guidelines
Unacceptable, Non Conforming IICL Repairs
Web Publication
September 2006
Repair not conforming to IICL standard and Florens' acceptable improper repair criterion should be considered as unacceptable repair and rectified. When a repair is estimated as improper, lessee bears the responsibility of proving that the repair was not performed while on lease or the improper repair was present before lease out. An improper repair can be considered as unacceptable if any one of the following criterion is met: Repair lacks structural integrity Repair may cause safety hazard or cargo damage Material used in the repair does not meet the strength requirement of the original material. Note: If the repair cost to rectify an unacceptable improper repair is not to lessee's account and the cost is above $50.00, detailed photos of the improper repair should be taken and sent to local Florens office for special approval. In addition to the photographs, a detailed description of the damage is also required. The illustrations that follow should be used only as a guideline when making a decision on a nonconforming repair. Each improper repair should be reviewed separately with consideration given to the above criteria. If there is any doubt in classifying a repair as acceptable/unacceptable, please contact your local Florens office with photographs for further clarification.

Door and Door Hardware
Web Publication
September 2006
In addition to the current IICL criteria, the following guidelines should be applied for the door and the door hardware: a) If a patch is required under the CSC plate, the original plate must be refitted. If the CSC plate is lost or destroyed, it must be replaced. Contact your local Florens office to obtain the CSC details for the container. b) Door panel sections at the gasket area should always be butt welded and be flush with the original panel. Note: Existing patches that overlap should not be replaced, as this is an acceptable improper repair. c) When a full width insert or section is performed around the hinge blade, the hinge blade should be removed from the door panel. Do not cut around the hinge blade. Note: Preexisting door repairs with a good quality weld is an acceptable improper repair. d) Damaged or cracked hinge blades or pins require repair. The repair cost should be in the account of lessee. Welded hinge blades are unacceptable and should be repaired in all cases. e) Damaged or missing bushing in a locking bar guide or bracket requires no repair if the door operations are not interfered. However, if a guide or bracket is replaced, the repair should include the installation of the new bushing. f) Bent or distorted locking bar brackets require repair only if the door operation is hampered. g) Missing or damaged door tiebacks do not require repair or replacement. Note: If local conditions require tie backs to be present, replace tie backs on Florens account. h) Corroded gasket retainers do not need to be replaced or sectioned as long as it is efficiently securing the gasket in place. i) The basic principle to apply to determine the repair worthiness of the gasket is light leakage. If the gasket is light tight, no repair is required.

Preventive Maintenance / Reconditioning
Web Publication
September 2006
Florens does not endorse cosmetic repairs on components that result from normal wear and tear. Only a few and very limited items should be considered as maintenance which can be charged to Florens account. As a general rule, maintenance may be required only when heavy corrosion may compromise the functionality and can lead to structural failure of the component. A typical example would be a loose door gasket resulting from non-damage corrosion of the retaining strip. In addition, a corroded component should only be replaced when 50% or more of the entire component is affected, otherwise sectioning or inserting must be considered, as this type or repair is more economical.
Superficial rust on gasket Repair is not required

Example: Corroded gasket retainer. However, the functionality of the retainer to secure the gasket is intact. Action: No repair is required.

Tarpaulin: Repair estimates on tarpaulins should be in accordance with TIR standards. A) At off-hire, when a tarp is missing or is not installed or partially installed on the open top, depots should note this on the interchange and the estimate. Depots should also obtain confirming signature from the delivering carrier. In addition, weathering damage on the floor should be noted. Protect the floor by stacking another container on top. B) Following is the minimum specification for the replacement tarp: Weight: 18oz/500gms/sq.m Color: blue/BS445 Material: polyester, PVC coated Grommets: carbon steel, galvanized to 40 microns. (bras, zinc and hard plastic grommets are acceptable) Reinforcement at roof bow: none Reinforcement at side rails: none Markings: none Note: Florens depots must replace tarp according to Florens' specifications. Different tarp color is acceptable only if all other specifications are met and Florens' customer makes the replacement during lease.
Example: Tarpaulin color that is different than Florens' blue (BS445). Action: Different color is acceptable only if all other specifications are met and the tarpaulin is replaced during lease. Florens depot must replace tarpaulin according to Florens' specifications.
Guidelines

Web Publication
September 2006
Replacement cost allocation: When it is more economical to replace the tarpaulin than to repair, depots must replace tarpaulin. Florens does not advocate lease period or age as factors to allocate repair costs between damage and normal wear and tear. Allocation for tarpaulin replacement that has damage and normal wear and tear above the economic value of the repair must comply with the following steps. The cost should include labor + material. 1) Calculate total cost of repair (damage plus normal wear and tear. Include labor and material), for example, the total cost = $1000. 2) Calculate the percentage of damage cost. For example, the damage cost = $900, or 900/1000 = 90% 3) Calculate the percentage of NWT cost. For example, the NWT cost = $100, or 100/1000 = 10% Apply each individual percentage to allocate the replacement cost of the tarpaulin. For the above example, to replace a 40' tarpaulin at $400, the lessee allocation should be $360, and NWT allocation should be $40.
Tarpaulin replacement versus repair: When the repair cost of the tarpaulin is 90% of the replacement cost, the tarpaulin should be replaced and not repaired. The additional cost of replacement should be allocated as NWT to Florens' account. The additional cost should be noted as a separate line item on the estimate.

Pinholes: Pinholes that are less than 5 mm (.20) in diameter can be repaired by using one component polyurethane caulk (Sikaflex) or "donut" patches. Pinholes that are between 5 mm (.20) and 10 mm (.40), must be repaired with a donut patch or a standard patch. In addition, no more than 4 pinhole repairs using caulking or "donut" within a 4"(10 CM) diameter is allowed, otherwise a standard patch must be applied. Cuts and holes greater than 10 mm (.40): Cuts and holes that are greater than 10 mm (.40) require a standard patch which should overlap by at least 15 mm (6) from all the edges of the damage being repaired. Patches greater than 100mm (4.0) X 100 mm (4.0): Patches greater than 100mm (4.0) X 100 mm (4.0) must have TIR tape applied to the perimeter of the patch. Existing intact patch without TIR tape is an acceptable repair during off-hire inspection - no rectification is required.

Procedure for abrasive cleaning and painting corroded compressor
Web Publication
September 2006
Compressor must exhibit approximately 75% surface rust/corrosion before abrasive cleaning and painting repair is done on it. Please refer to the Florens Technical and Operations Manual, section 8 pages 4 and 5 for guidance in selecting a candidate for this type of repair.
Preferred method of cleaning is to use the needle gun to abrasive clean the surface rust and flaking paint. Other mechanical method of cleaning, such as wire brushing is acceptable as long as the surface rust is removed properly. DO NOT REMOVE THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE UNIT. Clean and paint as much of the surface area as possible without removing the compressor.
Guidelines
Web Publication
September 2006
Use hand tool to clean crevices, and wire brush the entire compressor to obtain correct surface preparation for paint application.
As a final step before paint application, using the blower, air clean the entire compressor. No dust or paint flakes should remain on the compressor.

Reefer Condenser Coils
Web Publication
September 2006
Fin corrosion or damage that exposes refrigerant tubing should be evaluated on a case by case basis. The general guideline to decide to replace the condenser coil due to the loss of fins which has exposed the refrigerant tubing is the rise on compressor discharge pressure. If the discharge pressure stated in the manual for the specific make and model is outside the normal operating band, and the air flow is not obstructed due to debris or damage, replace the condenser coil. When replacing condenser coil for Carrier machinery, the following guideline should be applied: 1) For units that are 6 years and older, replace condenser coil with Economy coil 69NT43202-20. This applies regardless of who is responsible for the replacementLessee or Lessor. 2) For units that are less than 6 years, replace the coil with OEM product69NT 43-20210SV. At off-hire, condenser coil should be checked visually for obstruction, marine growth, and damage. Any presence of salt sediment or debris blocking the condenser fins should be removed by water wash using standard tap water pressure. Do not pressure wash condenser coil.
Condition: Debris over coil fins. Action: Water wash using standard tap water pressure.
17
Guidelines
Web Publication
September 2006
Condition: Condenser fin corrosion Action: The extent of corrosion shown in the example above does not require replacement.
Condition: Condenser fin corroded and the internal tubing is exposed. Action: Measure discharge pressure when the container passes thru the rating temp. If the discharge pressure is within the tolerance, no action is required.

Panel Delamination in Refrigerated Containers (Reefers)

Panel delamination on any area of the reefer container is defined as a separation of the insulation core from inner lining of the metal cladding. It can be caused by impact damage or due to defects in the manufacturing process. It is important to distinguish the cause of delamination as this will allow correct allocation to responsible party when rectifying this damage. As a general guide, delamination due to damage results from foam insulation being sheared behind the bond line, leaving residue of the insulation on the cladding which is exposed to premature aging. This damage requires repair. While delamination due to defects, results in the insulation skin being separated from the metal cladding. The insulation skin remains intact, therefore does not cause premature aging. Depending on the location, size of the delaminated area, and the design of the container, delamination bolts should be used. These bolts should be used in a Sandwich Construction where insulated panels contribute a significant portion of panel strength without embedded posts or stringers. Regardless of the cause of delamination, repair is not required on the following areas of the container: Roof Exterior Panel (exterior cladding) Side wall exterior sheet and post design. (sheet riveted to side posts) Sub floor T floor Door exterior Delamination that is not a result of impact damage must be repaired under the following criteria: Exterior Side wall: Over 40% of the total panel area is delaminated. Panel with no posts or panel glued to side posts at 1250 mm centers. Delamination bolts must be used. Interior Side wall: Use delamination bolts in all cases where the delamination is over 40% of the area of the panel. Interior Roof: Repair is required when 30% of the panel area is delaminated. Use rivets when the stringer glued centers are at 1050mm. Interior Door: Repair is required when one area exceeds 50% of the lining area. Use delamination bolts to repair interior door delamination. NOTE: INJECTION OF ADHESIVE FOR DELAMINATION REPAIR IS NOT ALLOWED.

Installation of Delamination bolt:
Delamination Bolt: Cap Nut with Permaglas Rod 100 mm. Cap nut is made of Stainless Steel (SuS). Rod Nut is made of Aluminum. Installation Instructions: 1) Make sure the container is level. Check / match diagonals. 2) Using a template mark the location of the bolt on the interior lining of the container. It is important to install bolts on the recessed area of the corrugation. 3) Using jacks, position the cladding back tightly against the insulation before drilling the holes. 4) After drilling holes, coat each hole using a spray food grade polyurethane clear coating. This coating prevents galvanic reaction, so it is very important. 5) Before installing the bolt, apply caulking underneath the head of the aluminum nut. 6) Install the bolts starting from the center of the panel working out to the ends. Bolt torque is 20ft lbs (0.86m.kgs). 7) Cut of the excess permaglas rod. Affix rivets and seal with Sikaflex 221 or equivalent. Note: Florens requires 5 tight bolts per 4 feet wide panel with one tight bolt in the center of the panel and Note: Side panel bolts are installed from outside to the inside, i.e. the nutsert is installed on the interior lining.

Placement of Tie bolts
Florens requires installation of 5 tie bolts for each 4 wide panel. The placement of the tie bolts should be as follows: Secure one bolt directly in the center of the panel Secure two bolts 2 below the top rail with each bolt 1 apart from the left and right edge of the panel. Secure two bolts 2 above the edge of the bottom rail with each bolt 1 apart from the left and right edge of the panel.
