It had 5 decks, reaching over 19 meters in height and accommodating 14 trucks, 18 cars, and 305 passengers. The project to create artificial reefs in All Saints Bay began around 2015 in the city of Salvador Bahia. On November 21, 2020, the vessels was towed to the planned location in front of the Bahia Yacht Club, inside All Saints Bay. The assisted sinking just took half an hour, the ferry sank completely, coming to rest on the bottom in its sailing position.
