Only a week after the vessel was returned from the bareboat charter, JD-Contractor mobilized the vessel for a project on the Seamade (SeaStar/Mermaid) offshore wind farm in Belgium. The vessel was during the project employed on an Offshore Target Removal and UXO Inspection Campaign identifying and clearing boulders and potential UXO objects.
On completion of the job on the SeaMade project, the vessel returned to Denmark for a complete overhaul of equipment and machinery. The vessel was dry-docked in the beginning of October for its main survey, repainted and overhauled. Once again, a changed and upgraded vessel emerged from the dry-dock to begin its new duties, operating as a part of the JD-Contractor fleet in JD-Contractor company colours.
