The Romuald Muklevich arrived at the shipyard in June 2016 for maintenance and overhaul designed to take it two years and to include a large amount of repair and upgrade work through hardware replacement.
During the dockside repair, the fault detection of the underwater section of its hull, surface skin replacement and weld overlaying were conducted. The underwater and above-water parts of the hull was cleaned and primed, and the underwater and most of the above water portions of the hull were painted, as was the superstructures. Concurrently, the shafting, variable-pitch propeller, bow and stern thrusters, anchorage apparatus, rudder, automatic devices, power supply system, deck, etc., were repaired. The repair and finishing of the compartments is in progress. Preparations for dockside and running trials are under way. The repair of the survey vessel is to be completed in 2018.
