[1][2] Ingeniero Julio Krause was powered by one 8-cylinder Sulzer 8 ZL 40/48 4T SA marine diesel engine of 5.800 hp @ 550 RPM,[n 1] driving one variable-pitch propeller; with a maximum speed of 14.5 kn.

[1][2] In addition to supporting the Navy’s operations, Ingeniero Julio Krause also provided transport services to private companies, especially YPF.

She carried out one logistic deployment supporting the Argentine fleet, and 28 maritime transport trips due to the increase in the consumption of gas oil in Argentina.

[6] In 2009, Julio Krause did not sail either supporting the fleet or private chartered due to union action starting in March; instead she underwent corrective and preventive maintenance at Puerto Belgrano Naval Base, and Tandanor shipyard from October to November.

In September 2015, via decree 2041/2015, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner authorized her use as a target ship for weapons training by the Argentine Navy fleet.
