The ''heliport'', also known as the helipad, is a large deck area that is placed high and to the side of offshore rigs. It is an important feature since helicopters are often the primary means of transportation. The ''living quarters'' usually comprise bedrooms, a dining hall, a recreation room, office space, and an infirmary. Escape boats are usually located near the living quarters. | The ''heliport'', also known as the helipad, is a large deck area that is placed high and to the side of offshore rigs.
