A container can be carried on the aft deck if the ship is not used as a stern catcher during the research trip. There is a conference room on the boat deck.

For fisheries research, the ship is designed as a stern catcher with a tow . Research equipment can also be moved using the lift. The ship is equipped with various echo sounders . There are several winches on the aft deck . In the aft deck area there are two cranes for moving loads that can lift 3 or 6 t. Another crane is in front of the deckhouse.
