This exceptional office ship combines a representative appearance with a solid technical base and a versatile layout. As a stylish location on the water, the property is ideal as a sales office, consulting space, agency location, showroom or exclusive meeting location.
The ship was designed by the Ship Design Schneider construction office in Rostock. The underlying concept as a spacious ship with high-quality space requirements is still noticeable today in its clear structure and user-friendly layout.
The state of conservation of the underwater ship is particularly noteworthy. Since construction, the office ship has never been in a shipyard, but has been checked regularly and carefully. The underwater ship is made of 6 mm ship structural steel and is primed with at least 290 microns of epoxy. At intervals of two years, the ship was submerged and inspected.
One major advantage lies in the underwater construction: Since there are no exposed metal components on the outside, such as propellers, sea valves or a bow thruster, the wear on the victim anodes was extremely low. They only had to be replaced once over the entire previous period of use. From the tenth to twelfth year, growth occurred on the underwater ship, some of which was removed manually to expose and control the anodes. The water pass was improved in 2017 and 2018 by using a 10-ton chain hoist to lift the ship for about a week at a time. According to information, the steel thickness is still 6 mm.
An additional advantage is the existing galvanic isolation in the shore power connection, which makes an important contribution to protection against electrochemical corrosion.
With a total usable area of approx. 85 mÇ, the office ship offers spacious and flexible spaces. The aft cabin serves as a separate meeting room, while the main area offers enough space for office, reception or consultation use. The kitchen and bathroom are integrated and round off the functionality of this special property.

However, the situation has improved steadily in recent years, not least due to growing demand. Through our partner comparison portal, you can now discover suitable offers at attractive conditions.
