Some of the main work was a complete hull paint job, and pull rudders, propellers, and shafts, for required inspections.  One of the ship modifications included the installation of a new fire alarm/fire suppression system.

Other work included a completely new exhaust system for the main engines and generators, selected sea valves, piping repairs, and hydraulic work.
