It will feature two sets of batteries on board, each with a capacity of 1 MWh, which will significantly reduce the ship's carbon footprint.
The delivery of the vessel, based on the MMC 995L SBC design from MMC Ship Design & Marine Consulting, is planned for the first quarter of 2027.

Once delivered, the vessel will operate off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada.
