The vessel is locally strengthened for the fitment of an 'A' frame of 40 tonne capacity astern, 4-point mooring system and towing winch, a deck crane capable to lift 10 t load at a height of 30m at radius of 10m

The vessel has a round bilge hull, a single decker with superstructure/deckhouse arrangement forward. The machinery are arranged under-deck aft and mid-ship region whereas the accommodation spaces are arranged mostly above-deck forward. The vessel is to be fitted with two controllable pitch propellers and powered by two marine diesel engines each of 2000 hp and two electric motor driven bow thrusters at forward.
