The vessel will be equipped with an A-frame for towed sensors as well as a multi-beam echo sounder that can measure the seabed with millimeter accuracy down to just over 200 meters depth.
The ship itself is specially built for the harsh weather conditions on the West Coast, where a large part of the survey takes place. The almost 15 m long ship with two powerful inboard engines of a total of 1,000 HP is built in carbon fiber and reinforced, so it can withstand sailing into very shallow water depths and even regular grounding as such is an important part of the
