The vessel offers approximately 445 lane meters and accommodates up to 32 trucks or trailers, with a 5.5-meter deck height and heavy-duty load capacity suitable for a wide range of commercial cargo. In addition, the vessel provides flexible passenger capacity, accommodating up to 778 passengers during summer operations and 83 passengers in winter configuration, complemented by premium onboard facilities.

Operating at approximately 13 knots, the vessel delivers a practical balance between performance and fuel efficiency, while maintaining compliance with modern emissions standards. The vessel is equipped with state-of-the-art navigation systems, SOLAS-compliant safety features, modern bridge and control systems, and a full suite of emergency and life-saving equipment.
