 The ship was located within the "Sava Kovačević" overhaul shipyard in Tivat until 2008 when it was berthed near a military object on Luštica.Due to the lack of any kind of maintenance, parts of the hull became corroded which resulted in several breaches so sea water needed to be pumped out from time to time.2004 marked the last time "Split" sailed on its own during a demonstration for the representatives of the Sri Lankan Navy who were interested in buying the ship.
