The vessel is a fully welded steel carvel built hull type fishing vessel, with two decks, a raked stem, transom stern, seven transverse watertight bulkheads and two masts.

The superstructure is fitted aft of amidships, there is an closed whaleback on the foredeck, one refrigerated hold below the main deck, a bait hold, a fish processing factory, three (3) blast freezers and the engine room is aft below the superstructure.

The vessel was purchased in 2012 in Norway where the vessel had been laid up for a period of time.

The vessel was dry docked in Norway and steel repairs were carried out within the ice belt area on the hull, the hull was painted, some items of electronic equipment were replaced, the flag was changed and the Class Renewal surveys were carried out. The main engine and auxiliary engines were overhauled and all pumps in the engine room were stripped and inspected.

The vessel sailed to Mauritius where the fishing gear was loaded and modifications were carried out in the factory to suit their fishing requirements.
