Main power is supplied by two 10,000 hp diesel engines, producing 'pull power' of 205 tons. This makes the Union Manta one of the world's largest and most powerful Anchor-Handling Towing Tugs. In addition to these power features, the vessel is equipped for stand-alone remote operated vehicles (ROV) and survey jobs.
