stadium-style seating platform on the 
bow, with enhancements throughout

D2862 diesel engines supplied by 
Northern Lights, driving fixed-pitch 
propellers through a remotely mount-
ed Reintjes gearbox provided by Karl

distinct operational modes: conven-

tions while maintaining performance 
and efficiency for longer routes.
