The Ship performed perfectly given the prevailing conditions getting up to Force 7/8.

It is clear the crew and Spanish owners maintain the vessel to a high standard, which is displayed in the crew ability to operate the vessel and the general condition of the vessel. Many thanks to both for their assistance during the trials.

Leading on from our Pre Purchase Ship Condition surveys, TEC Svcs would like to share an exciting project that they are presently involved with. Our client has requested TEC Svcs to source, purchase and transform a cruise ship into a state-of-the-art floating hotel. The project will combine the best aspects of luxury cruise experiences with the innovative potential of waterfront hospitality.

Project Overview:
TEC Svcs first step has been the acquisition of a suitable cruise ship that aligns with the customers required specifications, ensuring it meets both structural and design potential for the customer.

Reclassification & Compliance:
Once acquired, TEC Svcs will work closely with maritime authorities and classification societies to reclassify the vessel. This will ensure it meets all legal, safety, and operational standards required for its new life as a floatel, while also optimising for sustainability and efficiency.

Conversion into a Floating Hotel:
The transformation of the ship will involve extensive design and engineering work to convert it into a luxurious floating hotel. The priority is to ensure perfect guest experience with spacious cabins, elegant dining facilities, recreational areas, and leisure amenities, all while retaining the vessel’s unique charm. Additionally, TEC Svcs have been asked by the client to incorporate environmentally sustainable practices to minimise the carbon footprint whilst in operation.

Why This Makes Sense:
Innovation & Demand: Floating hotels represent a growing trend in the hospitality industry, combining the allure of oceanfront views with the novelty of staying aboard a luxury ship.
Operational Efficiency: With David Kellas’s expertise in maritime operations, the project will be carefully managed to ensure smooth delivery, on-time completion, and cost-effectiveness.
Exclusive Experience: This floating hotel will offer guests an unparalleled experience, with 360-degree views, on-water amenities, and a destination that’s truly unique.

David Kellas of TEC Svcs said that the company is excited to be part of the process in bringing this project to completion for their client.

In June/July TEC Svcs have added a further string to their bow by introduction of buyers of Jet A1 direct to sellers.  This a new area that we have been involved in and find it extremely exciting and although not quite the offshore side it is most certainly the product of our many years in the offshore industry.  We look forward to further potential customers coming along and allowing us to facilitate introductions.

In May 2021, we carried out the first Remote Annual DP Trials utilising remote ‘Live Streaming’.   This proved to be extremely successful and was aided by: 1. The professionalism of the Marine Crew and 2. The Surveyors experience and knowledge of the vessel being surveyed.   Both these points are imperative to expedite the success of the remote testing.

TEC Svcs are able to offer a detailed investigation and condition report of a ship for both buyers and sellers.

With more than 45 years experience in the Marine Industry, we are ideally placed to offer detailed knowledge & insight into your purchase or sale, and include a detailed report of our findings.

Despite a challenging 2020 for everyone we hope you are all doing well and wanted to share some details of the projects we’ve been working on over the past few months.

In June we were involved in DP trials of DP2 vessel in South West England. With a complete a review and re-write of DP Operations manual and FMEA Manual. Confirming the vessel meets DP2 operational redundancy requirements.

In September successful annual DP trials of a DP2 vessel in North America. Compiling trials documentation and full testing procedure, confirming the vessel aligns with DP2 redundancy capabilities.

In October we have a tender for 100 bed Flotel and DP2 work vessel for the Red Sea area.

…and hot on the heels of all that a DP incident investigation to DP2 vessel, with post investigation and redesign of redundancy group capabilities of fuel systems and electrical control systems (24VDC).

…and in addition to all of that we have an upcoming pre-purchase survey for a 1700 berth passenger ship coming up.

…there is even more to follow!
