The Reliance Floatel semi-submersible unit
The Reliance Floatel is a semi-submersible accommodation and security vessel designed to operate in moderate environmental conditions such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Campos Basin in Brazil and the Asia Pacific region . It is designed to meet international safety and efficiency standards for the oil and gas industry.
The vessel has a capacity of 500 people and offers facilities including cabins, a dining room, a gym, an cybercafe and a cinema room. It also has a telescopic gangway for the safe transfer of personnel between the host platform.

This deal is a strategic move for Floatel International , allowing the company to adjust its fleet and focus on new opportunities within the offshore sector.
