In today’s offshore oil and gas industry, the demand for safe, reliable, and cost-effective accommodation solutions remains strong. For companies operating in Asia and beyond, a Self-Propelled Accommodation Barge (SPAB) built in 2012 presents an ideal opportunity for charter or purchase.
This barge offers a combination of mobility, onboard comfort, and operational efficiency, making it suitable for offshore construction support, hook-up and commissioning, maintenance campaigns, and oilfield accommodation requirements.
What is a Self-Propelled Accommodation Barge (SPAB)?
A Self-Propelled Accommodation Barge (also known as a floating hotel or offshore accommodation vessel) is designed to provide:
Living quarters for offshore crew (ranging from 200–500 personnel).
Recreation, dining, and medical facilities onboard.
Workshop areas to support offshore projects.
Self-propulsion for easy repositioning without tug assistance.
Unlike non-propelled barges, a SPAB can navigate under its own power, reducing dependency on towing vessels and ensuring greater operational flexibility.
