ARV1

The Equinox Offshore Accommodation and Repair Vessels provide safe, efficient housing, storage, transfer and repair capabilities for offshore projects.

The majority of the accommodation is made up with a combination of single and double cabins within the main superstructure of the vessel.

Office spaces and conference facilities are extensive, with 3 conference rooms, 8 separate offices and 23 workstations for client use.

Office accommodation is also expandable in this manner. Workshop allocation is generous and practical in consideration of the service conditions the offshore accommodation vessels are likely to encompass.

Workshop, storage and prefabrication areas are generous. They include 2600 m2 covered storage and work space accessible through cargo hatches by crane (and stern ramp in port) for assembly work, overhaul work, repair work and other services which can be configured according to individual project needs.

The accommodation repair vessel hulls have been sought for their specific motion characteristics to make them suitable for the majority of worldwide offshore operations locations. Motion analysis studies carried out are showing very good results from Motion Illness point of view.
