Accommodation in 5 cabins for 15 crew.

She carries a 7-meter long semi-rigged boat with a Yanmar engine and two rubber boats with a length of 4-meter.
She is specially built for the waters in the Antarctic, and the design took care of all the aspects with energy savings, she has a very small draft and can navigate very near to the coast.
Mostly she will use only her sails to save fuel.
