More info

She is equipped with a single 5.8Tm deck crane, but due to the catamaran platform can be configured with a larger or multiple cranes if desired.

The Interior air-conditioned accommodation is limited to the main deck, with an open wheelhouse with crew seating and a separate resting area as well as multiple functional spaces and stores. The lower deck is dedicated to the main machinery, tankage and running equipment as well as overflow storage space.

The robust full steel build ensures resistance to damage from fish farm netting and other vessels when alongside and ensures an economic build. The vessel can be powered by a wide range of engines depending on the speed and performance requests of the client in question, with maximum speeds of up to 12 knots possible.
