encouraged to have the landlubbers think out loud about working offshore. The goal was to investigate their expectations for working offshore and so distil their needs and wishes.
According the landlubbers, being able to spend your free time in the way you like is most important. The availability of different activities and spaces to spend time seems to be a basic need. Landlubbers are used to open spaces and move freely around when they want to. Getting stuck in little claustrophobic and dark spaces is their nightmare. A vessel or offshore accommodation might result in the feeling of being stuck on an island with nowhere to go.
Having access to different media and to be able to keep in contact with everybody onshore is therefore a basic need to avoid the feeling of being isolated.

A clear separation between work and leisure / free time is therefore important. Not only in reducing the sound and vibration levels, but to prevent being an inconvenience for your fellow workers on board.
