Due to contract commitments the Byford was completed first and undocked in mid-December.  The Borgsten also had emergent work from the Structural Inspection and Maintenance Programme (SIMP) inspection and was kept in the dock until mid-March 2005.  Upon completion the unit was relocated to the quay for storage and minor works before departing for a charter in June 2005.
