Lmg Marine Designs 'hotel At Sea'

摘要

Polycrest has decided to invest in a 'ship-shaped' flotel and service vessel based on a design which is 125m long overall, being arranged with a large accommodation block forward and a large cargo/working/shelter deck aft. The main role of the ship will be to provide accommodation facilities for up to 350 offshore personnel; the capacity includes cabins for up to 30 catering personnel and 20 marine crew, but important assets will be workshops and indoor storage facilities for clients. The vessel will also be equipped with a knuckleboom crane. When in service, it will be able to hold a position adjacent to an FPSO, rig or fixed installation using a fully redundant dynamic positioning system. Access for embarkation of offshore personnel between the ship and platform/FPSO will be provided by a telescopic gangway of as yet unspecified type (readers will be aware that there are a number of offshore access systems currently under development).
