The works signify the successful cooperation between Damen Services in the Netherlands, the Damen Service Hub in Brisbane and Sydney City Marine, Damen said in its press release. The vessel in question was the Svitzer Warang, a Damen ASD 2810 owned by global towage operator Svitzer. Sydney City Marine was contracted by Svitzer to carry out a 5-year special survey on the vessel.

We also gave her a full paint job – blasting and painting above and below the water line. All finished on time and on budget.” http://en.portnews.ru/news/234677/
