A Floating Hotel At Sea “Flotel,” As It Is Called, Currently Accommodates 500 Workers Who Work On Petrobras Platforms In Macaé.

Macaé Has A Floating Hotel At Sea Surrounded By Luxury For Workers, The Flotel That Accommodates 500 Professionals Providing Services For Petrobras, Belongs To The Dutch Company OOS International And Has Already Attended The P-31 Platform. It Now Serves The P-58 (At The Time Of The Report By InterTV, It Was Providing Services To The P-48), Which Is About 130 Km East Of Macaé And 85 Km Southeast Of Farol De São Thomé, In Campos Dos Goytacazes. Petrobras Extends Contract With Seadrill For Drilling Services.

According To Those Responsible For The Floating Hotel, It Is Among The Most Modern Units Of The Company In Brazil. The Structure Has Six Floors And Includes A Cinema, Game Room, Gym, And Air Conditioning In All Environments To Provide Great Comfort For The Workers. All This Structure Is Surrounded By Waves Up To 3 Meters High, And To Access The Flotel, One Must Go By Helicopter.

Leendet Sprei, National Manager Of OOS, Reported That “The Petrobras Units No Longer Have Vacancies For People To Sleep And Eat. So They Rent A Flotel To Stay There Day And Night And Work On The Units.”

To Keep The Structure Steady, 30,000 Liters Of Diesel Are Used Daily. This Fuel Is Enough For 278 Trucks To Make The Rio-São Paulo Route, A Distance Of 431 Km. The Diesel Is Supplied By Petrobras.

The Technology Of The Flotel Developed In China And Utilized By The Dutch Company Also Includes Concern For Sustainability.
