The hull is painted pale grey with narrow red and white stripes at the waterline and a white painted superstructure. The bow is flared to accommodate a large foredeck largely uninterrupted and is strengthened towards the aft end. Most of the foredeck details are drawn apart from a derrick mast and boom. The superstructure is positioned aft and fittings include and enclosed bridge, a single funnel painted yellow with a black top and company logo, a main mast and two boats stowed either side of it. Vessel details are inscribed on the underside of the model.
