The diesel electric propulsion system will combine three main variable speed generator sets (suitable for operation on biodiesel), two shaft lines driven by electric motors and a DC electric distribu- tion system, which together with a battery pack will offer great per- formance of the power plant, optimization of consumption, good re- dundancy, and outstanding acoustic performance (not only in terms of compliance with BV COMF 2 class notation but also with DNV

SILENT-F standard). The dynamic positioning system and the elec- tric bow thruster facilitate the maneuverability of the boat.

It will have an oceanographic marine telescopic main crane at the stern for marine use designed to launch and to recover scien- ti? c equipment (corer, buoys, etc.) and general handling on the aft part of the vessel. In addition, she will have a type A stern gantry, a T-type lateral gantry and a telescopic rail beam for CTD maneuvering. For ? shing operations, this boat will also have two trawling winches and a removable net drum.
