1972 sold to Heerema Engineering Services and converted into two pontoons H102 and H104.
 
In 1973 her hull was inverted to act as a pontoon and in 1973 she was converted to an accommodation barge and was used as such by different owners over the years.
 
She was purchased by Bibby Line Limited in 1998 together with the Bibby Goteborg. She went on charter with Eurest and Wood GMC in the following 18 months.
 
In 1999 Bibby Line decided to strip all the accommodation off and renew it. She was renamed Bibby Bergen  and went on to charter with BP in Shetland and finished her charter in late 2001.
