Two electric drive motors from the manufacturer VEM Sachsenwerk of the type DKMAB 5018-6U with an output of 1050 kW each can increase the drive output. In semi- diesel-electric operation, the ship reaches a top speed of 19.7 knots . The sole drive by the electric motors is also possible. The engines drive two controllable pitch propellers via gears .
A bow thruster with 55 kN and a high-performance fin rudder ensure the best maneuverability. The sea behavior is optimized by a fin stabilization system .
