The MPI Adventure has returned to active service following a five-year maintenance and dry-docking period, marking its operational restart in the Irish Sea.

Sea trials have been successfully completed, confirming the vessel’s readiness for deployment. As part of its mobilisation phase, the vessel called at Portland to load tools and equipment required for upcoming work scopes.

The refurbishment included a full repaint, with the vessel now presenting a renewed external condition after the extended yard stay.

The return of the MPI Adventure reflects the completion of a long-term maintenance cycle, allowing the vessel to rejoin offshore activities with restored operational status.
