Lounge compartments are designed for the purpose of providing ship and installation crews and staff with a location in which breaks and off hours can be spent in a social context. Lounges are available in small and large configurations, intended to be scaled to the installation or ship in which the compartment is installed.

Designed to be installed upon ships and installations which have minimal space for recreational facilities, the small lounge design is intended to provide the basics for crew relaxation.
