Harvey Gulf has always consid- ered the welfare of its crews, regardless of the regulations,” said Mike Carroll,

Harvey Gulf’s Senior VP of New Con- struction and Chief Naval Architect, in a recent interview with MR sister-publica- tion MarineNews. “The regulations are always a minimum standard to be met; however we have always strived to ex- ceed the minimum standards for vessel design. In our new build construction vessel program, these vessels are de- signed in accordance with IMO require- ments including the Special Purpose

Ships (SPS) Code and MLC2006. The design intent for these vessels is to be ca- pable of servicing the offshore industry worldwide without limitation. For this reason, meeting and exceeding the latest regulations regarding Seafarer welfare was important not only as a function of potentially operating in countries which have adopted MLC2006 but also in re- sponse to Charterer’s request for vessels meeting the latest IMO requirements.”

The vessel is equipped with multiple conference rooms, cinema, of? ces, gym- nasiums, lounges. Many of the crew cab- ins have their own day rooms. Working and hotel areas of the vessel are segre- gated from the crew and passenger quar- ters. Lighting throughout the vessel is

LED which is less harsh on the eyes. The bridge has been arranged to be extreme- ly ergonomic with unobstructed lines of sight.
