What type of vessels are specifically fitted with living spaces for offshore workers?

Accommodation vessels are specially designed to provide living quarters and associated amenities for offshore workers. These vessels are equipped with facilities such as sleeping cabins, kitchens, dining areas, and recreational spaces, making them ideal for supporting personnel working in remote offshore locations, such as on oil rigs or during underwater construction projects. Their design prioritizes comfort and functionality, ensuring that workers have a safe and accommodating environment while they are away from their homes for extended periods.

In contrast, the other vessel types serve different purposes. Crew boats are used primarily for transporting personnel to and from offshore installations but typically do not have living quarters. Heavy lift ships are designed to transport and install large and heavy objects, often in maritime construction or heavy industry, and would not be equipped with living accommodations for workers. Dive support vessels are tailored for diving operations and may offer some living accommodations, but their primary focus is on supporting diving activities rather than providing comprehensive living spaces.
