ACT 7 in Bremer Vulkan's dry dock at
Bremerhaven in 1984. The
two propellers were replaced by ones with a greater pitch, along with new turbo
blowers which were for fuel economy measures to limit the shp from 25,000
each shaft down to 12,400, but after trials in the English Channel the max speed
was still over 20kts.
