ELA Container Offshore GmbH provides Offshore Accommodation for Van Oord


ELA Container Offshore GmbH delivered two Offshore Offices as well as six Offshore Living Quarters to the Dutch company Van Oord. They will be used on Van Oord’s accommodation pontoon “Astrachan”. The “Astrachan” is 60 m long and 15 m wide and already has accommodation facilities on board. “For this project we were in need of extra accommodation and hence, we decided in favor of the flexible solutions ELA offers”, says Gerrit Jansen, Projectmanager at Van Oord.

One ELA employee was on site to install the containers on the “Astrachan” including all connections such as pipes and cables. The assembled complex is two stories high with first level consisting of two Offshore Living Quarters and two Offshore Office Containers with four Wastewater Tanks attached below. The second floor consists of four Offshore Living Quarters. Moreover, 16 Gangways, 3 Small Stairs and 2 Stairways complete the structure. “Because we pre-assembled our containers during production in Germany, we were able to guarantee a quick assembly on site. Assembly of the containers was achieved smoothy and efficiently to our utmost satisfaction”, says Frank ter Haak, Business Development Manager at ELA Container Offshore GmbH.

ELA Offshore Containers are available for sale and for rent. This ensures high flexibility for clients when planning their various projects. “The containers are of a very high quality, very practicable and are equipped with single cabins for each of our employees. For us, it is therefore worthwhile to use them also in the future” says Gerrit Jansen, Projectmanager at Van Oord.

ELA Offshore Containers are “Made in Germany” and are certified according to DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079-1 and CSC. Every single ELA container is inspected and approved by DNV GL. Depending on the customer needs all ELA offshore containers are customizable and available at short notice.
