OFFSHORE FLOATELS: FLOATING ACCOMMODATION CUTS COMMUTE TIME

摘要

Offshore Floatels supplies "floating hotels" to the commercial marine industry. Known as "Floatels", these vessels provide resort-quality accommodation in purpose-converted, self-propelled vessels, and are a compelling choice between living ashore (but with extensive commutes) or living afloat and in close proximity to the work site. A recently completed charter tells the typical story. 40 nautical miles north of Onslow, SapuraClough Offshore had the project for a new domestic pipeline. With contractors facing two months worth of round-the-clock work to complete their contribution, the solution couldn't have been easier. Offshore Floatels were chartered to provide accommodation for 36 on board the 38 metre 'Reef Prince'.
