1. INTRODUCTION
The Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL) has
issued criteria for the inspection and repair of containers.
Triton requires that all Triton depots and surveyors follow the
IICL guidelines. However, in some areas the IICL has not
fully defined the criteria, and it has been left to the container
owners to establish their own standards. These areas are
commonly referred to as gray areas, and manuals such as
this one are called gray area manuals.
In addition, there are areas where field practice or special
circumstances have resulted in standard interpretations
and/or accepted modifications to the IICL standards.
The photos and text within this manual describe Tritons
policies and procedures for these undefined and discretionary
areas. This manual will also describe actual field
interpretations of the IICL manuals. As a practical matter,
improper repairs (repairs not conforming to IICL
recommended repair methods or workmanship standards)
make up the vast majority of gray areas, so this manual
focuses on Tritons improper repair policies.
The intention of this manual is to provide guidance and
training for Triton maintenance and repair personnel,
surveyors acting on behalf of Triton, and Triton depot
operators and estimators.
This manual does not supplant the IICL Guide for Container
Equipment Inspection, the IICL Repair Manual for Steel
Freight Containers, nor any other IICL manual. Instead, it
complements the IICL manuals by clarifying and interpreting
IICL criteria such that they may be consistently and
unambiguously applied in actual field practice.
Should the IICL standards be revised subsequent to the
publication of this manual such that the revised IICL
standards contradict those in this manual, the revised IICL
standards shall apply.
Triton has attempted to be fair, reasonable, and practical in
addressing the areas discussed within this manual. In
particular, effort has been made to avoid requiring repairs
that are not necessary for the operation of the container.
Conversely, though, some repairs have been required to
meet the general condition and cosmetic expectations of
shippers and carriers.
This manual does not create any new standards, but merely
documents existing industry practices. Certain local
differences may exist that require inspection or repair
techniques that are not covered in this manual or in the IICL
publications. In these situations, the decision of the Triton
Maintenance and Repair representative will override all other
criteria.

2. LOCAL PORT STANDARDS

Both Triton and the IICL endeavor to write standards that
minimize the lessees off-hire repair costs while, at the same
time, result in a container repaired to a standard that meets
both carriers and shippers quality requirements at on-hire.
As a result, standards are written to a level that is, on a
worldwide average, acceptable for general cargo.
There are ports, though, where shippers have local on-hire
standards that exceed IICL and Triton standards. These local
standards usually apply to cosmetic or interior cleanliness and
condition requirements. To avoid having to increase
worldwide standards to meet the needs of a few above
average standard ports and, thereby, increase worldwide offhire repair costs; it is understood that the off-hire damage
inspection and repair standards in these ports will be revised
upward to meet the on-hire standards.
In all cases, the fundamental IICL principle applies that,
unless there is a prior agreement to the contrary between the
owner and user of the container, the criteria are to be
applied equally at off-hire and on-hire. As stated in the
Guide for Container Equipment Inspection / Fifth Edition /
IICL-5, The recommendations and definitions of terms must
be applied consistently, both at on-hire and off-hire
interchanges.
DVMAN3 INT LPS.doc

3. REPAIR COST ALLOCATION

Damage repair costs are allocated between Triton and the
lessee based on the IICL general definitions of Wear & Tear
and Damage.
As a general guide, Wear & Tear is any repairworthy
condition that is a result of the normal deterioration of the
container when used in the manner for which it was
designed and that could not have been reasonably avoided
by the user. Wear & Tear costs are allocated to Tritons
account.
Customer damage is any repairworthy condition resulting
from using the container in a manner for which it was not
designed and that could have reasonably been avoided by
the lessee. Damage costs are allocated to either the
lessees account or to the DPP account.

4. PREEXISTING CONDITIONS
At off-hire, the lessee bears the responsibility for all
repairworthy damage and improper repairs with the
following exceptions:
If the lessee is able to produce an on-hire survey report
indicating that the condition was on the container at the
time of lease (i.e. a preexisting condition), the repair cost
will be allocated to Tritons account.
In cases of shorter leases (e.g. less than one year), if the
condition visually appears to be older than the length of the
lease, the repair cost will be allocated to Tritons account
even in the absence of an on-hire survey report.
DVMAN4 ALL PREX.DOC

5. IMPROPER or NON-CONFORMING
REPAIRS
Repairs that do not conform to the technical or workmanship
standards of the IICL Repair Manual for Steel Freight
Containers are commonly called improper repairs (IRs).
With rare exceptions, leasing company depot repair methods
conform to IICL standards. Nonleasing company repair
facilities, such as shipping line in-service depots, often make
repairs that do not conform.
At off-hire, a decision must be made as to if these improper
repairs can be left in place or must be reworked to IICL
standards. The IICL leaves this decision to the equipment
owner. Generally, Tritons standards for reworking IRs can
be grouped into five categories as are described in the next
section.

6. CATEGORIES OF IMPROPER REPAIRS

1.
IRs that do not meet measurable IICL inspection

standards.
Example: panel straightening that does not return the
panel to within the IICL 35mm dent inspection
standard.
Triton always requires correction of this category of
IRs.
2.
IRs that do not meet measurable IICL repair

standards.
Example: rail inserts less than 150 mm in length.
With very few exceptions, Triton requires correction of
this category of IRs.
3.
IRs that do not meet IICL workmanship

standards and compromise the
cargoworthiness of the container.
Example: Unsound welding of a structural component.
Triton always requires correction of this category of

IRs.
4.

standards but do not compromise the
cargoworthiness of the container.
Example: Rough panel straightening that does not
return the original corrugation profile.
Triton seldom requires rework of this category of IRs.
5.

standards and do not compromise the
cargoworthiness of the container, but that are
unacceptable for lease out in the off-hire port.
Example: Unpainted interior panel straightening or
patching.
Triton requires rework to the extent necessary to meet
port on-hire standards.

7. TRITON DEPOT REPAIRS

Although Triton does not require the correction of certain
improper repairs made by the lessee while the container was
on lease, Tritons depots are required to meet all IICL repair
standards, including workmanship standards, when making
off-hire repairs.
DVMAN5 IR DPT.doc

INSPECTION & REPAIR GUIDELINES for
8. EXTERIOR PANELS
Background
Improper in-service straightening is the most common panel
improper repair problem. The IICL workmanship standard
for panel straightening requires that the panel be returned,
as near as is possible, to the original profile. The
acceptability of the straightening workmanship is based on
the extent to which the corrugation bend radii and flats
between the bend radii have been returned to their original
positions and profiles. In addition, both sides of the repair
must be properly surface prepared and painted.
In-service panel repairs quite often do not meet the IICL
workmanship standards: the panels are hammered back
within the inspection criteria without efforts being made to
restore the corrugation profiles, and the surface preparation
and painting is substandard or omitted entirely.
Triton Standards
The IICL leaves the decision to correct improper repairs to
the equipment owner. Tritons standards can be
summarized as follows:
All repairs must be within IICL dimensional inspection

criteria.
Improper in-service panel straightening or substandard
painting does not require correction.
Patches or welds that were not painted at the time of
repair require surface preparation and painting.
Except for severe paint color mismatches, cosmetic
painting is not required.
Cosmetic touch-up of corrosion and preventative
maintenance painting is not required.
Corrosion is repaired only if it fails a hammer test.
All ISO markings and the Triton side logo must be
legible.
The photos on the following pages demonstrate the
standards addressed above and explain other Triton
standards relative to exterior panel repairs.
Ports with On-hire Standards Exceeding

IICL and Triton Standards
In certain ports, carriers and shippers have local standards
for exterior panel condition that exceed IICL and Triton
standards, and containers not meeting these standards will
be rejected for on-hire. In these cases, it is understood that
the local port standard overrides the IICL and Triton
standards, and the local off-hire damage inspection and
repair standards will be raised to match the local on-hire
standards.

unless there is a prior agreement to the contrary between
the owner and user of the container, the criteria are to be

9. FRAME
Triton Standards
As the frame components are critical to the structural
integrity of the container, Triton fully adheres to all IICL
inspection repair standards and requires improper frame
repairs to be reworked to those standards.
In some areas, the IICL repair standards are incomplete or
unclearly specified. The photos on the following pages
specify Tritons requirements in those areas.
DVMAN SEC2 FR.doc
Condition: Gouged top rail

Action: Gouged rails should be measured to determine
whether the gouge exceeds the IICL damage criteria for top
rail dents.
Note: Except for flooring, there is no IICL damage criteria for
material thickness loss or gouging at the point of impact.
FR 2-01.xls
Condition: Gouged corner post

Action: Corner post gouges should be measured to determine
if they exceed either the IICL dent criteria or the
IICL ISO + 5 mm criterion. If either criterion is exceeded,
repair by insert.
FR 2-02.xls
Condition: Corner post gouge.

Action: No action unless gouge depth exceeds the IICL
corner post dent criteria.
FR 2-03.xls
Condition: Corner post insert that extends through more than

half of the cross sectional profile.
Action: No action.
Note: IICL repair standards allow corner post inserts to extend
through more than half of the cross sectional profile provided
that the insert does not include more than one radius and
comes no closer than 10mm to the adjacent radii.
FR 2-04.xls
Condition: Corroded top side rail.

Action: No action unless the rail fails the corrosion hammer
test.
necessary. Corroded areas are not repaired for either
cosmetic or preventative maintenace reasons; repairs are
made only in areas that fail a corrosion hammer test.
FR 2-05.xls
Condition: Top side rail insert ending at corner casting less

than 300mm (12") in length.
Action: Replace insert to correct length.
Note: Inserts and sections in structural components must
fully meet the dimension requirements of the IICL repair
standards. Being close is not good enough.
FR 2-06.xls
Condition: Torn rain gutter with burr.

Action: Grind to remove burr.
Note: Gouged or cut rain gutters do not require repair unless
there are burrs or sharp edges. Burrs and sharp
edges are removed by grinding.
FR 2-07.xls
Condition: Gouged rain gutter.

Action: No action.
Note: Gouged or cut rain gutters do not require repair unless there
are burrs or sharp edges. Burrs and sharp
edges are removed by grinding.
FR 2-08.xls
Condition: Cut header flange.

Action: Repair.
Note: Repair header flanges only when they are cut. In the
absence of a cut, do not repair header flanges because they
are bent even if the bend exceeds the IICL header dent
criteria.
FR 2-08a.xls
C-05
Condition: Bent and torn bottom side rail top flange.

Action: Insert.
Note: A torn, cut, or cracked flange requires repair. If the
damage does not extend beyond the panel-to-rail weld, the
damage can be ground smooth. Otherwise, an insert is
required.
FR 2-10.xls
Condition: Bent and cracked bottom rail flange.

Action: Straighten and weld.
FR 2-11.xls
C-38
Condition: Bottom side rail flange torn and gouged.

Action: If at least 50% of the bottom flange width remains,
grind smooth. Otherwise, insert.
FR 2-12.xls
Condition: Fitting and welding with bad workmanship.

Action: Replace insert.
Note: Fitting and welding on structural components must be to a
workmanship standard that ensures structural strength. This is
critical in the highly stresses areas near the corner castings.
FR 2-13.xls
Condition: Rear sill insert with flange shorter than original

profile.
Action: Replace insert and install doubler if originally fitted.
Note: Insert and section materials for structural components
must match or exceed the thicknesses and dimensions of the
original components. This is critical in the highly stressed
areas near the corner castings.
Note: It is recommended good practice to weld both sides of
any repair adjacent to the corner castings.
FR 2-14.xls
C-39
Condition: Improper repair due to the full cross-sectional cut

of the inner rear corner post.
Action: No action.
Note: The correction of improper repairs that would require
replacement or major rework in the areas of the corner
castings and corner posts should be discussed with the Triton
M&R Manager, as consideration must be given to the relative
structural strengths of the rework versus the non-conforming
repair.
FR 2-14a.xls
C-15
Condition: Damaged corner casting aperature.

Action: Replace casting
Note: Damages to the corner casting that 1) alters the
aperature size or shape such that a twist lock cannot enter the
corner casting or 2) reduces the amount of material in the
bearing area of the twist lock or 3) cracks the corner casting or
4) affects the integrity of the casting welds must be repaired by
replacement of the corner casting.
FR 2-15.xls
Condition: Damaged corner casting.

Action: No action.
Note: Damage to the corner casting that 1) alters the
aperature size or shape such that a twist lock cannot enter
the corner casting or 2) reduces the amount of material in the

10. DOORS AND GASKETS
Triton Standards
The IICL door and gasket standards are clear in their
requirements that the door gaskets be light-tight with the
upper horizontal gasket fully in place and seated on the
header, and the door gear must be fully functional.
There are, though, certain gasket seating surface conditions,
gasket improper repairs, and door gear damage conditions
that require clarification. The photos on the following pages
specify Tritons standards in these areas.

for door gasket condition that exceed IICL and Triton
standards, and containers not meeting these standards will
be rejected for on-hire. In these cases, it is understood that
the local port standard overrides the IICL and Triton
standards, and the local damage inspection and repair offhire standards will be raised to match the local on-hire
standards.

Condition: Rear header corrosion.

Action: Repair by removing corrosion and repainting.
Note: Corrosion on the rear header is repairworthy if the
following conditions exist:
* The corrosion is visible above the upper horizontal sealing
edge of the gasket lip.
* The corrosion is serious enough that the upper horizontal
sealing edge of the gasket is raised off of the header.
DG - 01.xls

Action: Repair by removing corrosion and repainting.
Note: Corrosion on the rear header is repairworthy if the
following conditions exist:
* The corrosion is visible above the upper horizontal sealing
edge of the gasket lip.
* The corrosion is serious enough that the upper horizontal
sealing edge of the gasket is raised off of the header.
DG - 02.xls

Action: Repair.
Note: This condition is repair worthy because the corrosion
extends above the upper horizontal edge of the gasket such
that it will raise the gasket sealing edge off of the header.

all IICL inspection and repair standards and requires that
improper frame repairs be reworked to those standards.
In some areas, the IICL repair standards are incomplete or
unclearly specified, additional repair methods have been
introduced to the industry, or alternative measurement
methods have been adopted. The photos on the following

12. INTERIOR WALLS

Background
Improper in-service straightening is the most common
problem affecting the interior wall condition of containers.
The IICL workmanship standard for panel straightening
requires that the panel be returned, as near as is possible,
to the original profile. The acceptability of the straightening
workmanship is based on the extent to which the
corrugation bend radii and flats between the bend radii have
been returned to their original positions and profiles. In
addition, both sides of the repair must be properly surface
prepared and painted.
In-service panel repairs quite often do not meet the IICL
workmanship standards: the panels are hammered back
within the inspection criteria without efforts made to restore
the corrugation profiles, and the surface preparation and
painting is substandard or omitted entirely.
Triton Standards
The IICL leaves the decision to correct improper repairs to
the equipment owner. Tritons standards for improper repair
correction and other standards related to the container
interior can be summarized as follows:
All repairs must be within IICL dimension inspection

criteria.
Improper in-service panel straightening, substandard
painting, or unpainted straightening does not require
correction.
Patches or welds that were not painted at the time of
repair require surface preparation and painting.
In-service repairs can be painted with any color paint.
Cosmetic painting is not required.
Touch-up of corrosion and preventative maintenance
painting is not required.
Corrosion is repaired only if it fails a hammer test.
Non-original lashing rings and bars may be left in place
provided they 1) do not intrude into the cube or 2) are
located on the inner faces of the headers and do not
protrude beyond the inner vertical faces of the corner
castings or 3) are located between the upper corner
casting and the corner post above the lower face of the
upper corner casting.
The photos on the following pages demonstrate the
standards addressed above and explain other Triton
standards relative to interior panel condition.

for interior wall condition and cleanliness that exceed IICL
and Triton standards, and containers not meeting these
standards will be rejected for on-hire. In these cases, it is
understood that the local port standard overrides the IICL

raised to match the local on-hire standard.
