Capabilities	Benefits
3 Point  Anchor System	Enabling “Pin-Point-Accuracy” for maneuvering the vessel and camera equipment exactly where it is supposed to be, without risk of getting cables wrapped up in propellers or rudders as frequently happens with vessels operating with DP.
Ample Room For Underwater Camera Deployment	Vessel has a large back deck and good clearance all around the cabin area for fishing or underwater camera operations for before, during and after Video Documentation of wind turbine locations.
CMID Survey	Common Marine Inspection Document: Is a standard format for the inspection and auditing of offshore vessels. CMID safety surveys are required for all vessels working in the Offshore Wind Industry.
FAST – 20 kt Speed if Required	Vessel can go from one location to another in about half the time as it would take a regular commercial vessel. If in the event of a collision with a marine mammal, or sighting of North American Right Whale, the vessel can quickly be on site to monitor.
Federal Fisheries Permit	Permitted Fishing Vessel as per NOAA, (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration).
HUGE Observation Deck	360 Degree Unencumbered Observation Deck 16’ Above Sea Level. Perfect for Protected Species and Atlantic Seabird Observation and Research.
Walk Around Deck	IDEAL for Hook and Line Fisheries Research / Before, During and After Construction.
Shallow draft	Eliminate Logistical Challenges. This vessel will fit in almost any port on the easter seaboard and can come dockside in almost any marina.
Sleeps 20	Vessel is Fully Capable of Comfortably Remaining at sea for 7 – 10 days. Air Conditioned & Heated cabin for living comfort in summer and winter.
USCG Inspected	United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Inspection. Coast Guard Safety Inspections are performed annually.
Fuel Efficient	Vessel configuration makes her very economical to run at slow speeds.
Wide Beam for Stable Ride	Vessel was built to take passengers deep sea fishing in the North Atlantic and special attention and design went into hull configuration for a stable ride.
