She was overhauled and made seaworthy for her new owner at the MWB Shipyard in Bremerhaven before leaving for Egypt with a crew of WSA old-timers, among them the now-pensioned former engineer of the old Wittesand. During the overhaul, a new 70kW Mercedes auxiliary engine was installed, along with a 2.5 ton capacity loading boom. The 266grt boat was built in Wilhelmshaven in 1951 as Nickel to delivery coal to steam-driven river dredgers. She became Wittesand when she was converted for the WSA into a sounding and survey boat in 1974/75. Her superstructures and bridge were enlarged. A technology conversion took place in 1983 when the latest in sounding and survey equipment was installed and the boat took over the job of an older sounding vessel. At that time her crane was also removed and replaced by two modern davits for tenders. Wenz said the Wellesand wasstill equipped with the MWM 440kW main engine and bow thruster installed in 1988 and now overhauled at MWB. The main engine provided 10.1 knots and the thruster improved manoeuvrability. Whilst in Egypt the old crew cabins were converted into luxury test guest cabins all appointed with en-suite bathrooms, a saloon & bar areawere added forward of the exisiting superstructure forming a new line to the boat while adding a large sun-deck above which was laid with teak on the deck to give a luxury feel. The monkey deck was then fitted with teak & lounges fitted. The entire exterior of the vessel was treated an then under went a complete new paint job. In addition to this new crew accomodation was added to the old hold workshop under the foredeck.
