In addition, the vessel's powerplant will be outfitted with the option for 100% electric power supply. The main deck will be arranged to accommodate a 20 ft container so she can be equipped with a battery package for zero emission operation.

The vessel offers 167 square meters of deck space, with a winch with 150 tonnes brake holding power her towing pins and a shark jaws chain stopper positioned at the front for easy anchor handling. Two Heila cranes gives her a lifting capacity of 25 tonnes at 5.8m adds to the flexibility of the vessel, that is equipped for a multitude of operations.

With engineering performed by Gaastmeer Design, the hull will be delivered by VCU-TCD, with electrical installation delivered by Piet Brouwer Elektrotechniek, woodwork from De Flux and nautical equipment from De Boer Marine.
