In August 2000 she arrived at Victor Lenac Shipyard, Croatia, to be converted into a cable layer and was shortened by 15 m, but at some point between 2000 and 2005 work on her stopped.
In September 2007 she arrived at Hamburg and after a lengthy period of lay-up work on her has started again at Blohm & Voss.
She is now being converted into an accommodation and support vessel.
