Built in 1984 by the Valmet Oy Helsingin Telakka in Vuosaari, Helsinki, Finland and christened MV Pavel Antokolsky, she sailed as a barge carrier under various names and flags until in 2015 she was converted into a Powership at the Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul, Turkey.

She is commissioned to supply electricity to the power grid in Amurang, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Two four-stroke diesel engines with nine single-acting cylinders of Type 9R32 (230x310) manufactured by the Finnish Wärtsilä Diesel Oy give a total of 7,559 hp (5,637 kW) on two screws propelling the vessel at 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h; 15.5 mph).
