Empowering MV Lady Jean

Our Role in a Life-Saving Transformation.

Key Role in the MV Lady Jean's Transformation




We played a crucial part in transforming the MV Lady Jean, now ready to provide vital healthcare services to remote communities in Lake Victoria. By offering technical support and donating 200 litres of paint, we ensured essential touch-up repairs and a complete recoat of the vessel’s external and underwater areas, preparing it for its mission.

Originally built in 1988 as a UK Navy GRP patrol vessel, the MV Lady Jean has been converted into a floating medical clinic. After extensive refurbishment, it travelled from Portsmouth to Mombasa by container ship, followed by an 840-kilometer journey by road to Kisumu, before reaching Mwanza, Tanzania.

Key Products Used


The transformation relied on the following specialized coatings:


Revitalizing a Legacy Vessel and Its Community Impact


Once operational, the MV Lady Jean will join the Vine Trust’s Jubilee Hope Medical program, offering thousands of free health consultations and creating a reliable supply chain for antiretroviral medication to support isolated island communities.

This project demonstrates our commitment to making a positive social impact and improving healthcare access for underserved regions.


Collaboration and a Challenging Journey


This initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Vine Trust and Tanzanian partners, highlights the strength of teamwork in achieving meaningful change. The MV Lady Jean’s journey from Mombasa to Mwanza reflects a story of renewal and purpose.
