From a Rolls-Royce press release At the International Workboat Show in New Orleans at the beginning of December, Rolls-Royce presented the latest generation of mtu Series 4000 propulsion engines. Depending on the load, these engines can be operated for up to 96,000 hours before they are due for their first major overhaul. They therefore make an important contribution to conserving resources and reducing life cycle costs.

Rohde & Schwarz Emirates will equip the ships with NAVICS, an integrated, IP-based and fail-safe naval communications system that supports interoperability within the Gulf Cooperation Council. NAVICS will complement the existing external Line-of-Sight (VHF/UHF) and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (HF) communication solutions. In addition to external communication, NAVICS also ensures internal communication on board and guarantees a multi-level security architecture that enables secure, trustworthy and tamper-proof communication.
