Removal and overhaul of both gearboxes for service (carried out by the manufacturer Reintjes)
Complete withdrawal of both tail-shafts by Akerboom
Check, polish and balance of both propellers

Installation of new Sarlink Maritime system for fast internet access
Complete replacement of all the freshwater pipework throughout the yacht with new MEPLA pipe
New boilers and storage tanks for the hot water system
New pump system for the fresh water system
Extension of the helideck to enable more space for a larger helicopter complete new helideck surface and markings added
Strengthening the helideck with additional pillars on the bridge and main deck to spread load of a larger helicopter and meet the current load requirements for HLA under Lloyds
Addition of 2 fuel tanks (1900L each) and a dual pump system for refuelling a helicopter with Jet A1 aviation fuel was added to the Lazarette (manufacturer Sypack Doedijns)
Addition of a Helideck Monitoring system – (supplied by Kongsberg)
Addition of a deionized water system to allow flushing of a helicopter turbine aboard
Addition of a GPU – Ground Power Unit – Suitable for an H135 helicopter was also added to the helideck area.
Helideck lighting and illumination in line with Aviation and Flag requirements

FLAG STATE required helicopter operation to fall as “closely as possible” into line with their commercial code, this meant additional operational safety features were required as follows:
Installation of DIFFs – 3 pop up nozzles for remote activated foam dispensing added to the helideck, a new separate pump system and foam reservoir added to the engine room.
Installation of a NOVAK extinguishing system and a water mist drench system to the lazarette
Replacement and installation of new Steel scupper system for the helideck area.
Additional portable fire fighting systems also purchased for the helideck
New escape ladder made to allow simple access over the top of the bridge to the foredeck.
New fold down railing system around the helideck area to allow quick preparation for heliops and quick reinstallation upon landing
The life raft mountings were also moved further forward to keep clear of the helideck
Full set of tie down points for the helicopter deck were added and a secondary set further forward to allow long distance transport of the helicopter if required.
Professional consultation with Helidecks UK throughout the project.  Writing of a vessel specific manual and crew training also supplied.
* The helideck is not a commercial landing area and due to the size of the vessel cannot comply fully, but all efforts were made to ensure this is a safe and viable operational area for a helicopter up to 3T, based on the H135 machine as the most likely.
Please note the vessel returned to Amsterdam in September 2022 for two months this included re-surfacing the helideck under warranty and some paint warranty items
