CONTROL ROOM<br />

An installation vessel like <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> has many electrical and pressurised<br />

systems, from the vessel’s engines to the hydraulic jack-up system,<br />

ventilation systems, cooling systems and toilets, not to mention service<br />

water for up to 60 people. Everything is controlled from the control room<br />

on <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong>.<br />

It is therefore not just cranes and engines that need to function. There<br />

are tanks for drinking water and sewage; the vessel’s ventilation and airconditioning<br />

systems provide fresh air and the right temperature on board,<br />

and the cooling room in the galley obviously has to function as well. All these<br />

systems and processes are monitored and controlled from the control room.<br />

• The mess on <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong><br />

is open 24/7<br />

• It is prohibited to drink<br />

alcohol on board<br />

<strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong><br />

• A special office is available<br />

where guests on board the<br />

vessel can work undisturbed.<br />

To be the chief engineer on board <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> is like being responsible<br />

for processes and systems in a small Danish village. To help the chief<br />

engineer with the monitoring, <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> has installed an Integrated<br />

Control Ship System (ICSS).<br />

The advanced computer-based ICSS system helps monitor and control<br />

temperature, power consumption, water consumption and oil pressure.<br />

CHANGING ROOMS AND GYM FACILITIES<br />

<strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> can accommodate 60 people, including crew and guests.<br />

Installing offshore wind turbines can be a wet and dirty job, so the crew<br />

needs good facilities for changing and showering – we call this the Comfort<br />

Zone. The Comfort Zone is where the crew changes from work clothes to<br />

leisure wear, and facilities are provided for relaxation and exercise before<br />

continuing to the lounge area or private cabins.<br />

It is prohibited to take work clothes to the individual cabins. We therefore<br />

also have a Clean Zone, where it is not permitted to wear work clothes.<br />

The changing room facilities make it clear that <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> maintains<br />

a high standard throughout the Comfort Zone. In addition to being pleasant<br />

for the crew, it is also important when the crew is unable to do anything but<br />

wait during bad weather.<br />

For the same reason, much attention has been paid to the gym facilities.<br />

Here the crew has plenty of opportunities for weightlifting and fitness training<br />

if the wait becomes too long.<br />

MESS, GALLEY AND CINEMA<br />

At A2<strong>SEA</strong> we have always employed our own experienced crews just like<br />

we operate our own fleet. This gives us maximum control and means we<br />

can ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.<br />

However, being a crew member on an installation vessel like <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong><br />

can be a challenging job, both physically and mentally. We spoil our crew<br />

members when they are off duty, and we do so at what we call our Recreational<br />

Deck – the area on <strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> which comprises mess,<br />

galley and cinema.<br />

The mess is a natural gathering point because the work gives a good appetite.<br />

The mess is open 24/7 while the vessel is working on a job. Here<br />

you do not find fancy food in very small portions; instead we serve good,<br />

honest food, large steaks and plenty of accompaniments on a par with<br />

well-known restaurants on shore.<br />

It is prohibited to drink alcohol on board, but the crew can consume anything<br />

from soft drinks and juice to coffee and other hot drinks.<br />

<strong>SEA</strong> <strong>INSTALLER</strong> also gives the crew the option of watching films, as the<br />

vessel has a cinema where the crew can choose the films they want to<br />

watch.<br />

Finally, we have a department with an office where guests on board the<br />

vessel can work undisturbed. The office is popular as we often have customers,<br />

suppliers, experts and other guests on board.
