@yay-cat A university here in the Netherlands did that with a cruise ferry. There where just not enough student housing. So by renting a ship for a year (docked) they instantly had about 300 bedrooms, a local supermaked used a onboard shop as a branch. there where a ton of extra space for lectures or free time activities. Plus with in the area that is normally only for crew all the amenities where just there. also as it was also a ferry the car deck was converted to store bikes and mopeds. It had a seperate access point for cargo to be delivered.

@korbendallas5318 besides factories most buildings don't produce much. However a ship like this. Can definitely house a lot of people and also leave space for service aimed companies. The only real production area would be the kitchen. As it can cook on a grand scale. Also If you would use it for permanent living. You could definitely change some of the space with in to also offer more options.
