Offshore Floatels, Australia's leading specialist in moored accommodation is installing No BuTTs award winning Eco-Pole WET System Wall & Post-mounted Ashtrays on their fleet of vessels.

Offshore Floatels provides accommodation vessels for oil and gas, marine tourism, commercial diver support, crew transfer and marine research organisations. 

Offshore Floatels can meet the challenge of providing logistical solutions by offering a wide range of accommodation, transportation and hospitality options. Land based solutions are often not an option due to lack of a suitable site.

"Floatels" (floating hotels) can be deployed anywhere in Australia on short notice to house from 20-36 persons. Services can be turnkey dry hire. Or can be in fully serviced, catered and crewed. Vessel maybe stationery or cruising. Engagements can last from 2 weeks to 5 years and more.

"Offshore Floatels is a unique business supplying high quality moored accommodation primarily in the north west of Western Australia and we are very pleased to be able to assist them in eliminating their passengers and crew's cigarette butt litter." said No BuTTs Managng Director, Jack Jacobson.

"It's a sad fact that in many cases as vessels travel to their destinations, th ey leave a trail of cigarette butts behind them as people just flick their butts over the side. This practice is completely unacceptable, but with the assistance of responsible organisations and businesses like Offshore Floatels, and other eco-friendly water based organisations, we're wiining the battle to eliminate this disgraceful behaviour."

"Offshore Floatels is committed to conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner. Our goal is to meet the environmental protection standards expected by the government bodies and the community. This business is committed to the principles of sustainable tourism and onboard accommodation requirements." said Lorie Linton of Offshore Floatels."

To accomplish this, Offshore Floatels:

• Complies with relevant laws, regulations and standards for the protection of the environment and where appropriate, betters those requirements.

• Integrates environmental protection into our business by planning activities to avoid adverse environmental impacts.

• Sets appropriate environmental standards and incorporates measures to achieve those standards

• Works actively with government, industry groups and the community to develop appropriate solutions to issues, formulate environmental goals and provide comments on proposed laws and regulations that affects the industry.

• Encourages staff and crew to develop a sense of responsibility for environmental protection by seeking their input and by providing training and information on environmental matters.

The Eco-Pole Ashtray WET System Wall & Post-mounted Ashtrays allow the ashtrays to be liquid charged with approx 200 mls of water to ensure instantaneous extinguishing of butts as soon as they are placed into the Eco-Pole.

No BuTTs Eco-Pole Ashtrays have been designed with small 'butts only' entrance points which completely prevents papers and litter being inserted inside the ashtray. This feature virtually eliminates any possibility of smouldering or ignition because cigarette butts generally self extinguish in seconds.

"It's for this reason that over 95% of Eco-Pole WET System clients find they never need to actually liquid charge the ashtrays, but it's a reassuring option there for them if they choose to employ it." said Jack.

Over 100 organisations a week are installing No BuTTs Eco-Pole Ashtrays to effectively eliminate cigarette butt litter at their locations.
