CHEVALIER FLOATELS

Much more than just accommodation

In Chevalier Floatels we believe that a floatel is much more than just accommodation.

Our floatels are designed for installation and maintenance projects in the offshore wind, oil and gas industry. Work is done on or near expensive installations. Keeping these safe and undamaged is critical.

The projects done are expensive and budgets are critical. Keeping within budgets depends for a large part on having the equipment working reliably during the project.

In the end it is the engineers who determine the success of any project. Preventing seasickness and fatigue and keeping them comfortable and happy is a way to increases productivity and to bind engineers to their organization.

Fuel costs form a large part of any offshore budget. Fuel-efficient vessels significantly reduce overall budget needs.

Environmental criteria and social responsibility require organizations to think about the impact of their activities on the area of the installations.

Low exhaust emissions are therefore key in these modern times.

With these views in mind Chevalier Floatels has developed a new concept for the offshore wind and offshore oil and gas industry that is much more than just accommodation. This concept sets a hole new standard in terms of reliability, efficiency and comfort.

Top spec navigation and bridge equipment from Sam Electronics with planned maintenance, integrated automation and monitoring system warrants a safe and reliable voyage. Rolls Royce stabilizers makes the voyage as smooth as can be. Schottel azimuthing thrusters ensure the high manoeuvrability of the vessels.

On the DP Galyna an Ampelmann heave compensated gangway with a reliable DP2 system transfers the engineers to the windmills or platforms, making sure both crew and the windmills or platforms remain safe under all circumstances. For milder circumstances boat landings for windcats and support vessels increase the versatility of these ships.

Ureum cleans all the exhaust gasses from the vessels. Ensuring a clean and healthy environment for the staff on board and giving the vessels a low carbon footprint. Fit to purpose design and Volvo Penta diesel electric engines keep the fuel consumption as low as possible.

Cabins with en suite bathrooms for single or double occupancy with tv, internet and game consoles are just a few of the amenities provided on board. Ample recreational spaces with dayrooms, fitness and 24 hours service are standard on the vessels.

Watermakers, sewage treatment, food storages and fuel tanks give the vessels a 30-day autonomy.

And last but not least, our experienced and well-trained crew understand that it is not only their job to make the stay on board safe, but also realize that there is more. It is their job to make the stay on board comfortable and to make it a home away from home.

So DP Galyna and Gezina will provide you much more than just accommodation.
