The 650 passenger/37 knot craft is to be powered by five MTU 16v400M63L engines, equipped with ZF-7650 gearboxes, propelled by 5 Hamilton HM-811 jets. Two 150ekW generator sets will provide the vessel with electricity and a 200hp bow thruster will allow for manoeuvrability. A service speed of 37 knots and capacity for 650 passengers will provide efficient transportation.
