11.11.2002 Upon completion of the seasonal work summer 2002 the ROTS II system has been maintained and improved both technical and operational. The maintenance programme involved improvement to the frame and sword system to further improve the unique sword adjustments during subsea operations and to allow full retraction of even the biggest sword used on the system. The Sepro A frame snubber has been modified to accommodate 360° rotate, thus enabling rotation of the ROTS system for easy recovery. As a preventive maintenance measure the whole umbilical was greased with a high pressure greasing device. This involved a full rewind of the umbilical on the ROTS II winch
