Trans RINA, Vol 153, Part A1, Intl J Maritime Eng, Jan-Mar 2011
It was designed under the following rules of Bureau Veritas:
Classification and Certification of Floating Hotels and Hospitals.
Towing at sea of ships and floating units (NI 183A – CNI).
for obtaining the Class Notation: I3/3E FLOATING HOTEL/NP, RMC-V
Like any other vessel, this Flotel also complies with all the rules of
SOLAS, MARPOL, COLREG, Load Lines, etc.
At the same time, the hotel facilities over the pontoon comply with the standards of the Spanish Hotel Industry, that are not maritime standards.
Although the project was cancelled, it is a good example of a commercial floating hotel on the coast. The figures below show the General Arrangement and the Midship Section.
the International Maritime Organization: 2.4 SHIPYARD WORKER ACCOMMODATION
Coastels are ideally suited to accommodate shipyard workers, as shipyards are inevitably located next
to
water, and typically have mooring space available for vessels. Using a Coastel to accommodate workers within a shipyard not only offers a cost-effective solution compared to using hotels or land camps, but also helps reduce logistical issues of moving workers between their accommodation and the worksite.

The offshore oil industry is the main market for accommodation vessels or flotels and these applications represent their “state of the art”. Many projects have been developed in recent years, with new concepts and innovative vessels and systems promising to improve the living conditions of seafarers working in the offshore industry.
The main purpose of an offshore flotel is to provide accommodation facilities for those working on offshore
