Sailed with her for 4 weeks on a cable route survey with the ROV in the water all the time. When the vessel is on DP the noise level in the cabins is unbearable, as ambient noise above 80dB, peaking to 90-100dB. The ship owned was not providing a certified tool to the HSE rep to conduct a noise survey on board. Obviously the issue is well known to everybody who ever set foot on the vessel, but nothing is being done about it. The internet was working on a voucher system, but luckily the vessel was working in mobile coverage area, so that was used. Otherwise, there is no wifi coverage in the lower deck cabins (the noisy ones). The food was generally good on board (Greek) with soft drinks and other bits available between meals. I believe there were option for vegetarians at every meal. The toilet system is outdated, (and works the same way as on any Asso vessels, as I heard), no toilet paper allowed to be flushed in the toilets. You have to put it into the bin in the bathroom/rest room, and before your cabin mate takes over for your shift period, you should dump it into the bins on deck. There is not so much space to move around outside, if you are into walking outside. There are multiple inside smoking areas, in favour of the smokers.

Did a trip on here in 2022, the vessel is in poor condition. The accommodation is in disrepair and toilet system is outdated and not hygienic. You have to put used toilet paper in a bin and we were told to throw it over the side. Every room is a smoking room as there are no doors between the two tv rooms, gallery and passageway. We had multiple problems with the vessel breaking down then pumping exhaust fumes, diesel fumes and cigarette smoke into the accommodation causing it to be unbearable. To top it all off the lower deck cabins are unusable when sailing or on DP, due to the noise from the bow thruster. I recorded a reading of 98Db in my cabin while on DP. I spent most of my trip trying to sleep in the TV room. Food was fair apart from it been very repetitive and there been no midnight meal, but there was plenty of snacks and drinks in the fridge between meal times. Asso crew where great to work with and very helpful. Recommend staying away from this vessel.
