Safe Scandinavia was built in 1984 at the Aker Verdal yard to an Aker H-3.2E design.

The rig has a twelve (12) point, all chain mooring system allowing station keeping in the harshest of environments.

With a maximum of 583 beds and 59 workstations, together with very high levels of accommodation, good cranage and a high payload capacity, the Safe Scandinavia is the ideal offshore support vessel for construction, commissioning and remedial work.

In April 2007, Safe Scandinavia was the first floating accommodation unit to be awarded Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) by the Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority.
