The Wheel House
360-degree visibility for the officers over the top of the
aerodynamic superstructure, with an aft-facing docking console
and CCTV monitors negate the need for bridge wings with the
associated windage and weight. The wheelhouse is fitted
with the latest in electronic navigation and communication
equipment to comply with the High Speed Craft Code.

Manoeuvrability
Within one minute of lines being released the ship can be off
the berth and completing a 10 degree turn before accelerating
to harbour speed, and in less than three minutes she can be at
40 knots.
During manoeuvring it takes only ten seconds to change from
full ahead thrust to full astern thrust; thus the ship will stop in a
fraction of the time of conventional craft.
The Wave Piercing Catamaran can make a 360 degree turn in
its own length; not requiring a bow-thruster brings savings in
weight, hull drag and a quieter ride at sea.
