If the situation is not serious enough to down man then it can’t be serious enough to need repairs at night, I would have thought.
if it really does require night flying, it can’t be considered Commercial Air Transport/Public Transport, as landing on an unlit deck with (presumably) no functional fire fighting system is outside that scope. So, would need government agency aircraft using NVG probably.
I’m reminded of the G-JSAR accident where the decision to fly at night, in a non-standard operating manner, came under a lot of scrutiny.

The accident itself isn’t relevant, but the decision making is discussed in section 5.
