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.

The onboard systems draw electrical power from three 400kW generators. The ship’s total fuel capacity is 172.62 cubic metres (37,971 gallons) while a separate tank can hold up to 22 cubic metres (4,800 gallons) of freshwater.

White, Grey and Black List

 

Each year a new White, Grey and Black list is published in the Paris MoU Annual Report.

The “White, Grey and Black (WGB) list” presents the full spectrum, from quality flags to flags with a poor performance that are considered high or very high risk. It is based on the total number of inspections and detentions over a 3-year rolling period for flags with at least 30 inspections in the period.

The former lists can be found on Publications/Performance list

The most recent list is effective from 1 July in any year - 30 June the next year.
