Very interesting, had no idea. I see there is also as 72 foot version.
Makes me wonder what a boating encounter with one of these might be like.

I tried to find it on Marine Traffick, no luck. AIS

It looks like they probably have radar. I wonder if they have vessel avoidance programming. It's not like you could hail one from your vessel to coordinate maneuvers.
