The landing craft has recently undergone extensive conversion. The vessel originally built as a catamaran has now got the two hulls joined with bottom , deck, bow and stemplating thereby increasing the vesselOs loading capacity by at least 30 tons. The new deckplating has been strengthened to take heavy cargo. In the forward and aft part of that deck two 700 mm dia openings have been made right through the hull from deck enabling drilling equipment or portable thrusters to be installed. The new section has been divided into four different sections whereof the middle section is a 50 m3 drytank. The others can be used as ballast tanks in addition to existing ballast tanks. The two catamaran hulls contain accomodation for 12-15 persons comprising 5 cabins a galley and a provision store in addition to normal deckstores. (Not approved by the Finnish Board of Navigation for crew). The main engines are situated in the aft part of the catamaran hulls forward of the FW tanks, one in each hull and the auxiliary engine is in its own room forward of the port main engine. The domestic boiler is placed next to the galley in the starboard hull. The existing deckhouse in aluminium will be replaced by a bigger deckhouse in steel being built at the Alandia Yards at the present time. In this deckhouse there will be accomodation for a crew of 2 in addition to the navigating bridge.

Inspections: The inspection(classification) period for the vessel is 8.10.1993 - 8.10.1998 The vessel was last inspected 28.5.97 for domestic trading with maximum persons 14 including crew. The last annual inspection October 1997 is not yet carried out due to the conversion being made. The final inspection after the conversion is not yet completed but will be completed prior to a sale. During the drydocking the SB propeller was repaired at Finnscrew. The whole hull was gritblasted and painted with icestrenghtened paint Intershield 350. Therefore the hullOs underwater parts have a good corrosion prevention system for many years to come.
The vessel is not officially for sale, but in view of the many recent requests for this kind of a vessel the vessel can be available subject to other committments .
