The vessel is named after the constellation Centaurus which is one of the largest constellations in the sky. It represents the centaur, the half man, half horse creature in Greek mythology. The vessel will continue the success of her sister vessel Acta Auriga regarding workability, in-field agility, offshore logistics and comfort on board for 120 persons. Due to continuous improvements in Acta Marine's fleet regarding fuel consumption, the vessel will be equipped with a hybrid battery package. In addition, Acta Centaurus will also be equipped with a helideck.

The completed hull is expected to be towed from of Crist, Poland to Ulsteinvik, Norway end November 2018. Thereafter Ulstein Verft will complete the outfitting of the vessel and the installation of the SMST provided mission equipment - motion compensated gangway and 3D crane.
