Designed to operate as a floating laboratory, Future has an LOA of 110.8 metres, a displacement of 7,000 tons at full load, and space for 80 personnel. An all-electric propulsion system that includes two propellers and rudders delivers a maximum speed of more than 15 knots and a range of 10,000 nautical miles or, alternatively, an endurance of 60 days.
The vessel also boasts a DP2 system, a stern A-frame, and anti-roll fins for enhanced stability in offshore waters.
Following delivery, Future will be used to conduct verification tests of intelligent systems.
