    Hi Terry

    She had this work carried out at A&P Hebburn - major changes to her bow and stern:

    "A&P Tyne has recently completed the multi-million pound upgrade and life extension contract on CSO Orelia, a
    construction offshore vessel for Technip UK.
    The 1984 Swan Hunter built vessel arrived at the Hebburn yard in early January 2008.
    A significant part of the contract was the renewal of the accommodation block required due to new regulations set by MCA. This included the removal of existing accommodation systems, facilities and original steelwork structures. The new accommodation block, which was fully outfitted at Hebburn’s large fabrication facility, is complete with new cabins, wet rooms and furniture. The new module weighing circa 370t was installed with the use of a mobile heavy lift crane when the vessel was drydocked. Major fabrication works also included the completion of new forward and aft structures which will enhance the vessel’s sea performance and increase fuel economy.
    Additionally, a significant amount of upgrades were carried out on the dive system, switchboards and distribution boards to the 6,368DWT vessel. Also, substantial overhauls and upgrades on all major machinery, renewal of helicopter reception facilities, new auxiliary machinery space with new AC plant, sewage treatment plant and oily water system, class & flag surveys, hull and tank steelwork repairs and hull blast and paint."
