Formerly known as Aranui III, the steel-hulled vessel operated as a dual passenger and cargo vessel, navigating between Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands before ending her service in 2015. In 2017, she was converted into a yacht support vessel at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4917" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sembawang Shipyard (Company)">Sembawang Shipyard</a> in Singapore. This extensive conversion included the installation of four expansive storage garages, providing an internal volume of over 6,500 cubic-metres, equivalent to nearly two Olympic-sized swimming pools.
