International Load Line

IOPP

International Tonnage

Antiguan Registry which expires in August 2005

The following are some quotations from the Surveyor's report:

Condition of Vessel

"The vessel is in exceptionally good condition for its age....."

Suitability for Conversion

"The vessel has very good stability, well in excess of IMO requirements, which means that conversion scenarios involving top weight increase, such as a helideck, are entirely feasible."
