The vessel was built at the A.Vuijk & Zonen`s Scheepswerven shipyard in the Netherlands, in August 1978, as a clean-up station for sea vessels. In 1993, the vessel was sold and converted into a tanker for the road transport of fuel to ships. In 2004, the Russian company Transoil purchased the vessel and refitted the ship to transport fuel over long distances, although later it continued to refuel ships in the port and on the roadstead.
