Vessel is single prop and no thrusters. This vessel underwent a major mid-life refit in 1988-89. Government documents indicate this would increase the ship's life by 35 years.
There is a parts inventory on board valued in excess of $300,000 USD. The vessel is capable of going to sea within 24 hours. You will find her listed in Janes Fighting Ships as the Chebucto.
Ideal usage would be as: armed patrol vessel, research ship, or conversion to Private Yacht.
In August 1999 a Marine Consultant and Surveyor attended the ship to conduct a survey "for the purpose of ascertaining its general condition and approximate value." The results in highlight form are: The vessel has five year certificates (issued August 1999) for: International Load Line
I O P P
International Tonnage "The vessel is in exceptionally good condition for its age,…" "SUITABILITY FOR CONVERSION The vessel has very good stability, well in excess of IMO requirements, which means that conversion scenarios involving top weight increase, such as a helideck, are entirely feasible." "APPRAISAL OF VALUE "Based on a residual life of at least ten years, a current world market replacement cost of about USD 18 million, current value of the 1989 refit of USD 6 million,… I appraise the depreciated replacement value (DRV) as approximately USD 6 million." $2.4million
