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.
