FLOATING CITY

Envision an ideal place to live or run a business, a friendly, safe and secure community with large areas of open space and extensive entertainment and recreational facilities. Finally, picture this community continually moving around the world. You are beginning to understand the Floating City concept of a massive ocean-going vessel. With a design length of 1393 Meter , a beam of 230 Meter, and a height of 110 Meter, Floating City would be more than 4 times longer than the Queen Mary. The desig... n concepts include a mobile modern city featuring luxurious living, an extensive duty-free international shopping mall, and a full 2.0 million square foot floor set aside for various companies to showcase their products. Floating City would be more than a cruise ship, it is proposed to be a unique place to live, work, retire, vacation, or visit. The proposed voyage would continuously circle the globe, covering most of the world's coastal regions. Its large fleet of commuter aircraft and hydrofoils would ferry residents and visitors to and from shore. The airport on the ship's top deck would serve private and small commercial aircraft (up to about 40 passengers each). The proposed vessel's superstructure, rising twenty-five stories above its broad main deck, would house residential space, a library, schools, and a first-class hospital in addition to retail and wholesale shops, banks, hotels, restaurants, entertainment facilities, casinos, offices, warehouses, and light manufacturing and assembly enterprises. Finally, this concept would include a wide array of recreational and athletic facilities, worthy of a world-class resort, making Floating City a veritable "Community at Seas." E-Mobility The infrastructure of Floating city contains various transportation systems and facilities necessary to move people and goods on and off the ship as well as transportation aboard the ship. The three main forms of transportation are the airport, the port authority (marina), and the onboard subway system. One can use the airport and port authority to embark or disembark the ship at their convenience. Residents and business owners are only minutes away from a constantly changing environment and have the ability to see the beauty of the world. The airport will be located on the top deck of the ship. The size of the ship will provide a stable and appropriately sized runway for small commuter a nd cargo aircraft and helicopters. Current specifications allow for aircraft as large as a STOL turboprop capable of carrying 38 to 40 passengers. Insulation and proper design will shield the residential and commercial districts of the ship from noise associated with airport operations. However, if engineering and management find noise to be detrimental to the overall quality of life aboard Floating City then the airport will be redesigned to facilitate Smart Flying Cars/E-Mobility only with the remaining real estate used as an additional nature preserve. FCL will operate a fleet of aircraft; however, residents are encouraged to own and operate their private aircraft and E-helicopters. Hanger space below the flight deck will be available for lease to residents and visitors. A flight school will operate on the ship as well. The first and important question that came to us was how is it being built as there is no dock or slipway in the world that can built such a ship? It is true that there is no shipyard in the world has got a dry dock which is capable of building this ship also considering the length of this ship using a slipway was not considered the best of ideas hence our designers had hit upon an idea of using multiple floating docks which are specially built to cater to this requirement and then join the hull sections together. So in short the floating docks would be the fist things being built rather than the ship itself. It is not actually possible to accurately mention how we plan to achieve this as it is a very complex procedure but it would suffice to mention that it took us about 5 years of planning to finally arrive at the correct procedures. We are also not planning to rest on our laurels here as we are trying to correct ourselves where ever we can in consultation with other experts on the subject. In short we will be actually taking modular construction to the next level when we start building this ship. Where is it going to be built? We have looked at a few places in the world and then narrowed it down to just three places where the waters are considered to be more calm and the risk of accidents are kept to the minimum. Also there is the question of proximity to logistics hubs when deciding a final place of building. We will consider everything before we conclude on the final place of building and we also plan to discuss everything in detail before we finally committing to it. This is an area where its still work in progress as most of the places has got its own advantages and disadvantages. For example the Arabian sea which is one of the areas we have shortlisted is considered quite placid for 9 months of the year but itโ€™s a place you donโ€™t want to be in for 3 months of the year namely June, July and August. As mentioned we are more than willing to listen to everyone out there before arriving at the final place. So do we use the safe harboured waters or do we take advantage of the Equatorial doldrums will be finally decided after taking everyoneโ€™s opinions into consideration. Waste management The current design is to use the Wartsila waste management system onboard the ship as our teams concluded that it is the most recommendable. The treatment will be done for both grey and black water in this system. But frankly this is another area where the team is currently open to welcoming any new technological ideas in the market and incorporate the same during the next set of design work. How is this ship different from Satoshi or bitcoin ship The Satoshi was a project that envisaged a ship that was moored to a single place but this would have easily run into several issues as there are going to be questions raised about Exclusive economic Zones of countries. Our project in contrast is a running ship and hence there is very little chance of it coming into conflicts with the jurisdiction of other countries. We are currently not looking to create a separate country here but only a floating community that evolves as time progresses. This will be more of an inclusive project as against a packaged one. Where exactly will this go? The Seawise Giant wasn't able to use canals or the English Channel, how will this be any different? The seawise giant though is the current record holder for the longest ship ever built its not the same as the ship we are proposing to built. The Seawise giant was a super tanker with an Type A freeboard (most of the ship was underwater) hence it had a very deep draught (depth below the waterline) of 24.6 meters / 81 feet. Hence this ship was considered too deep to transit the English Channel, but in contrast our proposed ship is a Type B freeboard and will only have a draught of about 14 Meters / 46 feet and hence is not expected to be deeper than those big container ships operating currently. Though this ship is not expected to take the Suez canal or the Panama canal due to its length there are not many oceans which is off limits to this ship. This ship is being built with the intention of enabling it to take on the most mightiest of the ocean waves so the residents can rest assured that that it is quite a safe place.
