The engine room is accessed from a passage within the vessel allowing entry at engine room level and has standing head room making for easy maintenance. This passage also gives access to the aft cabin. This arrangement means there is no need for lifting the wheelhouse floor and the use of impracticable steps down. It also means no extra door in the wheelhouse down to the aft cabin.

The whole vessel was shot blasted before painting. This removes the mill scale thus giving a uniform and clean surface to paint. The whole of the vessel was then painted in Interzone 954, a high performance two-pack epoxy blacking system. The top superstructure was then painted with International Perfection a two-pack polyurethane paint. All of this procedure results in a high gloss hard wearing finish.
