Among other things, the sidetrawler was docked for this purpose for two weeks at BREDO Dockgesellschaft. After docking, the historical ship was first high-pressure cleaned in order to remove the fouling on the submerged part of the hull (barnacles, mussels, oysters). Afterwards, the hull was coated with black Intertuff. The upper part received a new green coating. A corrosion protection coating was also applied to the steel deck and the superstructure.
