The newbuild also boasts intelligent operating and energy-saving systems to ensure compliance with EU Stage III emissions standards.

Power for the ship is provided by two 375kW (503hp) main diesel engines driving ABB electric motors, which in turn drive a nozzle-housed, controllable-pitch propeller. A 250kW bow thruster provides additional lateral manoeuvrability when navigating in port and berthing/unberthing.
