As a crew boat, the Flex Fighter also has reclining seats for 42 passengers and a 93-sq m (1,001-sq ft) cargo deck with a knuckle boom crane for equipment and components.
Additional features for operations in the Gulf of Guinea include heavy-duty/self-cleaning fuel oil purifiers, an external fire-fighting monitor and a FuelTrax electronic fuel management system.
