On 17 April, 2021 it was the turn of the MYQ5000, a 5,000 tonne capacity gantry lifting system designed and built by DLT Engineering (formerly known as Dorman Long Technology) in the United Kingdom. It was supplied to the China Petroleum First Construction Corporation as the contractor for vessel supply and installation on this job.
