The Flotilla, a modular floating hotel, will consist of a 108.25m x 18.00m barge (base) and a 99.00m x 15.00m x 15.00m topside, housing 243 rooms.
The scope of work for Holland Shipyards includes the construction of both the base and the topside, delivering a fully integrated floating hotel.
The modular design, developed by Good Hotels, allows for minimal on-site construction and reduced environmental impact, as the structure will be entirely built at the shipyard and then towed to its final destination.
Green electricity powered
The Flotilla project is a testament to the commitment of both Holland Shipyards Group and Good Hotels to creating vessels that lead the way in sustainability. This floating hotel will operate entirely without fossil fuels, relying solely on green electricity. Its roof will serve as a sustainable energy plant, equipped with highly efficient solar panels strategically positioned for optimal energy capture.
The Flotilla is designed to be passively immune to extreme weather conditions, featuring high-insulation walls, roof, and heat-resistant glazing. Its energy consumption is minimised through A++ equipment and smart controls that adjust based on occupancy.
The air conditioning system is engineered to heat water while cooling rooms, further enhancing energy efficiency. With a water-sourced heat pump system that seamlessly combines heating and cooling, the Flotilla exemplifies the future of sustainable maritime hospitality.
Partners
Holland Shipyards Group sees this project as a strong example of its versatility that complements its ongoing work in green construction, including its experience with electric and hydrogen-powered vessels.
Other partners include Ninetynine, which is responsible for architecture and interior design; Royal HaskoningDHV, leading the design of the floating concrete barge and structural design of the top structure; and DWA, as sustainability and MEP consultant.
