Maximum Capacity
Pelican can accommodate a total of 47 persons at any one time in a combination of single and twin cabins for use by permanent crew, and four or six berth cabins for use by trainees. Accommodation is allocated by the watch-bill.
Air Conditioning
All living spaces are temperature controlled. Above the main deck, there are individual air-conditioning units. Health and hygiene is much improved by six changes of fresh air every hour.
Structure
Cabins are separated by steel bulkheads, sound and fire proofed, and lined in timber, all cabins have a porthole. Access is by lockable 60 mm thick teak doors. Smoke and flame detectors in each one are connected to a central audio-visual alarm system.
The Mess Room
The spacious Mess Room can seat up to 22 and is served by the adjacent Galley. When there is a full crew on-board, there are two sittings for each meal. During morning and afternoon sessions the mess makes an ideal classroom with separate tables for chart work.
The Saloon
When off duty, the permanent crew can unwind in ‘Pelican Roost,’ the ship’s Saloon area.
The Galley
A small but well appointed Galley, lined with stainless steel for easy cleaning with a generous sized combi-oven for steaming and baking. The addition of two fridges and one freezer makes for convenience when preparing up to three hot meals a day for a full crew.
Trainee Cabins
Accommodation for trainees consists of four, six-berth and three, four-berth cabins, most of which include an ensuite bathroom with a shower and vacuum toilet. Each cabin has a port-hole, and a window in the main lockable door.
Crew Cabins
Master, Chief Mate and Second Mate have cabins in the vicinity of the bridge. On the lower deck Engineer, Cook, Bosun and Bosun’s mate each have private accommodation.
