According to Kooiman Marine Group, this included work on the propellers, rudders, box coolers, and fendering.

Also, the underwater hull underwent preservation treatment.

The Oceanus has a 340 ton-meter fore crane and a 80 ton-meter aft crane. The fore crane is equipped with a constant tensioning winch.

Also, the workboat has an enlarged depth, allowing the working deck to be 1.10 m above the waterline (normally: 80-90 cm).
