Construction

This vessel was manufactured in United Kingdom as a Hospital Standby Vessel and is NOT Fishing Vessel conversion. This means the design was meant to be for a Hospital Ship and as such has first class accommodation for Crew and up to 300 Survivors at a time. This vessel was working on standby in the North Sea Oil Field up to 1998 when it was relocated down to Africa. On the market now with a full 5 year certification there has never been a better time to buy a Hospital Ship than now.

She was continually modified throughout her oil rig contracts and was fitted with the following:
•Stern roller for anchor handling.
•12 ton hydraulically controlled A-frame to rear of work deck to enable use of ship for anchor handling and to launch R.O.V. and survey gear.
•Hospital accommodation to make ship 300 person rescue vessel.

In 1998 the vessel was dry docked and a complete hull and machinery refit was undertaken, to complete satisfaction of the registration authority.

In 1999 further alterations were undertaken such as the clearance of the cargo hold of obstruction and the resisting of machinery to give a large hold space for use as a cable tank for the communications industry or general cargo (approx 500tons).

It should be noted that the vessel has large capacity service tanks for fuel and fresh water. She has accommodation for 20 single berths and 300 survivor capacity. Full work shop facilities with lathe, pillar drill, welders and cutting equipment are situated adjacent to the engine room.

All surveys (Class [INSB], Loadline, Radio etc) are all due for completion within the next few weeks and will be sold with a 5 year class ticket.

All LSA is new including EPIRB, SARTS, Liferafts etc.
