The press service of the region noted that the keyless boat has a carrying capacity of 750 kg, which allows it to transport various materials, including construction materials. This is especially true in connection with the plans to build a biological station on Cape Anastasia of the Krillon Peninsula as part of the SakhalinTech project. In the future, the new boat will be used to deliver food, medicine and other important goods for employees of the future biostation.

Alexander Pyrkov, one of the developers, stressed that the range of the boat varies from 5 to 15 km, depending on the weather conditions and the height of the base station installation. In unguided mode, the drone is limited only by its fuel reserve, which allows it to make long flights. The boat weighs only 230 kg, which makes its transportation easy and does not require the use of heavy equipment. The universal body of the drone allows you to quickly adapt it for various purposes. Originally used in the oil and gas sector, the boat will now serve to transport goods to the biostation.^[1]
