The purpose-built vessel has an LOA of 23.9 metres (78.4 feet), a beam of 6.6 metres (22 feet), a draught of only 2.65 metres (8.69 feet), a moulded depth of 3.1 metres (10 feet), a deadweight of 97, a gross tonnage of approximately 109, and accommodation for up to six personnel. The cargo hold has a capacity of 122 cubic metres (4,300 cubic feet).

The vessel boasts a spacious aft working deck with a Fassi 4.2-ton knuckle boom crane and a side-mounted brush chain-type oil skimmer with double rotation direction capability, making it ideal for collecting light to heavy viscous oils. Activities on the working deck can be monitored by the crew directly from the wheelhouse thanks to aft-facing windows.
