The seismic research vessel delivered in June 1999 for Aker Geo has been designed as a geophysical survey vessel for unrestricted service. The vessel is purpose built for demanding seismic survey, with accommodations forward, engine room amidship, diesel electric propulsion system and seismic areas and helideck in the aft part. The seismic areas are equipped with hydraulically powered winches and auxiliary equipment, a control room and a workshop. The survey capacity is enhanced by a stern arrangement for operating the streamer cables.
