Her initial stay was classisfied as "lay-up", however soon after, preparations started to get her ready and to comply with specific client requirements for her new assisignment. During this 9 month period, several local contractors were involved with the project: barge operators, diving companies, gas chemists, local anchor handling & stand-by tugs, waste / sewage reception companies, ship repair & general contractors, etc.
