Offshore Support Vessels, Offshore Accommodation Vessels and Modules
Holland Shipyards specialises in a wide variety of products and services, varying from offshore support vessels, such as anchor handlers, crew tenders and tugs, to offshore accommodation vessels and modules.
We are known for our ability to deliver high-quality products within a very short space of time. Holland Shipyards is the company to look for when time and quality are of the essence.
Our organisation strives to deliver a product that meets our customers’ needs. This can only be done in close cooperation with the client; this does not only require Holland Shipyards adapting for customers’ specifications, but also keeping close track of all options available.
Holland Shipyards has developed a portfolio of products, varying from support vessels, such as tugs, to workboats and anchor handlers of all sizes. More recently, offshore accommodation has become a prominent service offered. We are able to deliver a product that satisfies the most stringent of demands within a very short time period, which is highly beneficial for our clients as they carry out their projects.
Over the years, Holland Shipyards has delivered accommodation modules of all sizes and capacities. This ranges from 20ft containers converted into two-person sleeping quarters, to accommodation modules for up to 60 people in single and double cabins.
In addition, complete accommodation vessels can be built for 300-600 people, can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +40°C and able to serve the people on board with all sorts of amenities, including ensuite bathrooms, fitness areas, day rooms, restaurants and internet cafés.
Technical facilities include: generators, water makers, sewage installation and complete HVAC installation. In fact, these vessels are designed to operate autonomously for a period of 14 days. Also, modules have been built to operate autonomously for an extended period of time.
Next to its new building activities, Holland Shipyards has a rental branch for its offshore accommodation modules – Holland Accommodation Rentals.
These rental modules have been designed to have a high grade of self-reliance, which reduces (de)mobilisation time and takes away the requirement for available ship systems. Also redundancy has been factored in in the design of the modules. Five types of modules are available:
By working closely with highly qualified subcontractors, we can guarantee that each project meets the highest possible quality.
Working so closely with our subcontractors has enabled Holland Shipyards to respond to some requests that seemed downright impossible; for example, building an offshore accommodation vessel with facilities for 600 people in just 17 weeks, which we completed.
Holland Shipyards gives its clients possibilities to act within timeframes that would not be feasible otherwise.
With highly qualified and certified personnel and solid QHSE practices Holland Shipyards will deliver quality vessels and accommodation modules, and will do so responsibly.
