A 210-HP Cummins 6BT5.9 engine powers the vessel’s fire pump. An 815 HP Cummins VTA28DM engine generates power for the boat’s bow thruster.

Deck equipment includes a ten-ton anchor windlass, a five-ton capstan and a four-point mooring winch rated at 40 tons. The vessel is fitted to accommodate a complement of 196 crew and workers The after deck provides 300 square meters of cargo space and is fitted with a 45-ton crane.
