Hi all, I do believe this vessel was another seismic conversion carried out by Tyne Tees dockyard at Hebburn. I do believe when completed she was renamed Geco Topaz, I may have the wrong name as we carried out 4 conversions for Geco Schlumberger. It arrived as a flat back and left as a multi streamer seismic vessel. Micky
