Work on the ship is scheduled to begin in February and will include a major propulsion system upgrade together with work on the ship’s ballast water treatment system, the installation of a new workboat and davits, and the relocation of the emergency rescue boat.

The ship will also be put through a five-year special survey.

When the refit has been completed the Polarcus Naila will be reclassified as a Special Purpose Ship.
