Works were to include minor structural, mechanical and electrical modifications, and the installation of new Naiad stabilisers. The refit also included modifications and improvements to both the interior and exterior styling, with Lady A now sporting a new light grey hull colour. Naval architecture of the project was handled by Houlder, with Burgess Marine having acted as the primary contractor in partnership with Shemara Refit.
