This boat has been developed and built following a detailed specification from Peschaud international. In addition to oil companies, flag and class requirements, Peschaud asked for waterjet propulsion, business class standards seats and large space per passenger.

Requirements in terms of equipment maintenance and overall robustness were also very challenging. A2V designed specific hulls for this application and pushed both structural optimization as well as regulation studies to address these requirements within the initial weight estimate.
