Fit for purpose

• Kabina has  designed a state-of-the-art floating platform, specifically built and equipped  to support the Home Office in its ongoing work of processing asylum seekers and migrants to the United Kingdom.

• Kabina One accommodates 800 migrants and 100 staff

• Kabina One has been designed by naval architects and marine engineers, to anchor safely and securely in river estuaries and protected waters, around the UK coastline.

• Kabina One has no independent means of propulsion. It will be towed onto station where it will remain in full operation for up to five years.

• Kabina One is entirely self-sufficient for fresh water, electricity and waste management. 

• State of the art technology ensures full compliance with marine pollution regulations,   ( i.e. zero discharge.) 

• Residents will sleep in twin, quad or ‘family’ cabins, each of which will have its own shower and toilet cubicle.

• Bed linen, soap and towels will be provided. Three nutritious meals per day will be served in the canteen.

• There will be a medical centre/sick bay, a prayer room, a running track, 5-a-side football court, gymnasium, media room, library, classrooms and workshops. 

• Food delivery will be by means of a dedicated service launch, which will also embark and disembark Immigration officials every day.

• This entire programme can be achieved at a cost of less than £90 per individual per day. (Current cost to the Home Office is in excess of £150 pp/pd.)

• Kabina has a full set of construction drawings and build specification ready to deploy and be fully operation in Q1 2025

​

Kabina's floating platform is anchored offshore, is totally independent of the mainland, and has zero discharge

​

Kabina’s processing platforms for UK residency applications will have a significantly lower impact on the environment and on the national infrastructure than any land-based solution.

 

• 900 people require heating, cooling, lighting, cooking, laundry and fresh water; all of these utilities are produced on station, with zero connection to shore.

• Waste and sewage are processed on board, using state of the art equipment developed for cruise ships; the standard is zero discharge of untreated effluent.

• The exact energy requirement to sustain comfortable living is produced by on-board generators, with a load balance calculated to within a few kilowatts; there is zero wasted energy.

• The purpose-built canteen and galley onboard (with large-scale refrigerators and cold storage) serve 900 people with three meals a day.

• The Kabina platform is far superior to current methods whereby asylum seekers are housed in smaller groups in temporary digs, military bases etc, with negative consequences for local residents.
