The ship has a traditional twin propeller stern and bow thruster for manoeuvering and like most trailing dredgers, includes bottom doors for dumping, a dredge engine, a jet water engine, a degassing installation, a suction pipe and associated pipelines and valves. Unique to most dredgers however, is a very large bulbous bow and spud pole for more efficient use of the dredge pump and heading/position keeping during beaching.
