Source measurement	—	The P400 class are fitted with a hydraulic crane capable of lifting 2.5 t (2.5 long tons; 2.8 short tons). This allows to use them for anti-pollution operations, by embarking and debarking equipment and anti-pollution chemicals, and to lift out small craft whilst at sea. An unusual feature for ships of this size, the Operational Centre allows a complete monitoring of close surface situations, using radar indicators and tracking tables.
