Construction

This vessel was converted in 1997 to a fully operational salvage and dive vessel. The conversion work included the installation of a 20 ton twin wire derrick onboard. This was carefully designed and installed to take full advantage of the 10 ton bow roller onboard. The winch is equipped with 2 x 500m of 24mm crane wire.

All work and conversions were undertaken to Lloyd’s classification and is currently in Lloyds A100 LMC classification. Onboard you will also find a 6 point mooring system that can be operated to 200m, and a cargo hold of 200 tons as well.

With the last fleet tender we had, we had customers from all walks of life consider the boat with ideas including turning the hold into a classroom with a glass coachroof, to extra accommodation and even had a customer consider the boat for super yacht conversions and storing quality cars, motor bikes or sports boats under cover.

Hull Material:	Steel
Displacement:	283 Tonnes
