Built in Rendsburg, she is powered by one 2250hp Alpha diesel, producing a service speed of 13 knots.

Ice strengthened, she has two 20 tonne derricks and two 5 tonne derricks, and can carry 52 TEUs.

Her lone visit to Onehunga was made due to the late arrival of "Forum Niugini". She was chartered by Pacific Forum Line from the Papua New Guinea Shipping Corporation for this one-off call to uplift produce.

Last known to be operating for Sri Lankan owners, but her existence is in doubt.
