I can confirm she had no power at night and was in total black out. Also her gangway was up during the day and there was a security chap in a hut and I got about a close as you could go. He was not happy about me taking photos

Ted,
Days would be very optimistic, even if you threw cash at it.
Unless the machinery has been turned over/run up on regular basis you're looking at an enormous inspection plan. Then there's all the prep time for all that.
She's been laid up for over a year, and I see no power supply to the ship which means no dehumidifiers.
Having been laid up for more 3 months not only is her safety certification expired she's also out of class.

@ Malim Sahib, if the main engine and aux engines were "mouthballed" correct it can be reactivated within days.

No, it's due to the downturn in oil prices over the past couple of years.
Hundreds of other offshore vessels are currently laid up globally.

@Malim Sahib - a lengthy job then.Has this come about in the wake (no pun intended!), of the BP disaster in 2009?

No.
Being unmanned her machinery alone will require many weeks of work and no doubt millions of dollars to reactivate and recertify.

I wonder how long it takes to get her ready for work again. Could you just go aboard and turn the key and away you go??
