The primary function of the Olympia is to act as a floating accommodation unit for rig personnel. The vessel has a DP-3 rating and will remain connected to an offshore facility via a telescopic gangway system. Other features include a 12.8-metric-ton rated helideck, and a 150-metric-ton telescopic boom crane.

There are currently a further six CSS vessels under contract with deliveries planned over the next two years.
