technology

The ship is 49.90 meters long, 10.10 meters wide and has a draft of 0.80 meters. The main engines are two Volvo engines with 212 kilowatts each . It is driven by two STP 320 type Schottel propellers. The on-board electrical system is fed by two generators with 139 kVA each, which are driven by diesel engines. In order to be able to sail at low tide (level of 2.25 meters) and also at high tide (5.10 m), the very low draft was chosen in combination with a lowerable wheelhouse.

The ship is approved for a maximum of 540 people and has space for 200 people on the closed main deck with loose seating. The open deck with a retractable awning has 300 seats. The ship is “barrier-free” thanks to the threshold-free access to the main deck and the elevator between the main and open deck.
