Almeria is luxuriously equipped to explore (With dive capabilities on the on-board Lil' Scut II submersible and remote controlled shark cage, and is capable of rescue and delivery operations. The helipad accommodates small and medium-sized helicopters, and the cargo deck is outfitted for an AB Marine 16-AB RHIB. The cargo deck features ISO standard container slots, and can fit up to 5 containers at a time. The R.S.V. Almeria is built with private luxury living quarters, an operation controls deck, a conference room, laboratories, garage bay, infirmary, and a decompression chamber.

TIPS
  • The ship is designed to be able to be disembarked with a helicopter or skiff while it is on Autopilot. The AP system has a timer to allow disembarkation, as well as a toggle-able "Boat Launch Sensor" and "Helipad Landing Sensor" that allow for your return onto the ship assuming it has not reached its destination and stopped. These toggle-able buttons enable a laser, that if crossed with your helicopter or boat, will stop the ship, allowing you to board.
  • For maximum speed, use the electric motors. However, at full electric power, the batteries will be depleted faster than they can be charged, so the maximum speed is not sustainable for long periods of time.
  • The shark tank and unmanned underwater exploration gear can be lowered into the water using rope anchor on the large winches on the gantry crane, and then connected via electric cable anchor to the huge winch
