She will have the most fuel-efficient engine in its class; Wartsila 32. While the vessel’s design is optimized for fuel consumption, emissions and noise; environmentally friendly refrigerants are planned to be used to cool, freeze and store the fish on board.

She will target pelagic species like herring,sardines, mackerel, horse mackerel and blue whiting. All catch will be frozen on board and is destined for 100% human consumption purposes.
