Below poop deck is the engine room. The cargo rooms have the dimensions 8.60 x 6.20 x at least 2 meters and 6.10 x 6.20 x at least 2 meters. There is also an area on the peak-tank in the fore with the dimensions 2.50 x 6.20 m. This vessel has been run as an unemployment project but was cancelled due to lack of unemployed people and supervisors. Lots of work has been put into the ship. Internally sandblasted and painted, double bottom cleaned. According to the ultrasonic survey the bottom looks OK.
A price has not been set for this ship, millions of crowns have been put into it to this day and the owners will want to get as much back as possible. The price also depends on how much work will be completed by them. Today the ship is far from seaworthy.
