What did the client need?
A maintenance contractor working offshore from Kwanda Base cannot fix its headcount in Soyo from week to week; rooms are needed when crews are ashore, not as a standing block. Its people also spend the whole working day on the platform, so their food has to go with them.
What did Fortaleza arrange?
- A call-out arrangement at Casa Erica: rooms are released to the client as its crews arrive, against agreed availability, rather than as a fixed block.
- One invoice at the end of each month for the rooms actually used, so the client reconciles a single document instead of a booking per stay.
- Packed meals in cool boxes from the Casa Erica kitchen, sized for a full day, for the crew to take to the platform.
How does it run day to day?
Rooms are allocated as crews arrive and invoiced once a month; the kitchen packs cool boxes to the day's headcount before the crew leaves for Kwanda Base, about 5 minutes away by car.
