Rudiger Koch recently published an overview of Ocean Builders plans for the Satoshi, had the project gone forward:\
\
\"Cruise ships that are currently on the market will be ​converted to zero emission seasteads​, by implementing the following steps:\
\
1. Move to a location that makes a zero emission regime feasible. Mainly this means between +- 8 degrees latitude\
\
2. Implement ​Thomas Gorreau's method of coral regrowth to encourage formation of corals on the walls of the ship. This will make toxic rust protection superfluous.\
\
3. Remove all equipment for driving the vessel and make use of the gained space\
\
4. Replace the wasteful part of the A/C system and replace is with efficient zero recirculation systems\
\
5. Put solar panels on surfaces and provide sun protection on open deck areas using solar panel roofs\
\
6. Reduce occupant density to about 60% of that of the cruise ship\
\
7. Remove typical North European interiors that require low humidity to prevent mold\
\
With the case study of the ​MS Satoshi, we show a way towards carbon neutral conversion of ex-cruise ships into habitats at sea. We show that such habitats can be far more sustainable than any possible land habitat.\"
