The Frisia IV is powered by four diesel-electric motors (type: Schorch BN 7357 M-BX) with an output of 470  kW each , which act on Voith-Schneider propellers via reduction gears. Two systems are installed in the bow and stern of the ship. The energy is generated by four diesel engines .

The ship is designed as a double-ended ferry . Since it can travel in both directions and can be loaded and unloaded, it does not have to turn around in the two ports, which shortens the journey time.
