All engine maintenance and mechanical works during the current ownership have been managed by the same mechanic.
The MAN engines have not undergone a complete rebuild during the current ownership since 2024, as no such intervention has been required. The current owner has no information confirming whether a complete rebuild was carried out prior to his ownership.
No piston or cylinder-head rebuild work has been carried out during the current ownership. The engines have, however, received extensive preventive and corrective maintenance, including turbocharger, injector and injection-pump servicing, valve-clearance adjustment, intercooler and heat-exchanger servicing, regular twice-yearly servicing and the extensive 2026 maintenance programme.
According to the owner, the engines have not presented operational problems during his ownership. The yacht is currently fully operational and available for immediate use.
