The second part comprises all that is necessary to the crossing but which was not essential to the boat. It is for example the satellite telephone, the card reader, embarked data processing (computer) and even the bulky tanks. A commercial version would not have indeed needed reserves of 1300 liters. Also this inventory the means of safety enter as the beacon of distress or the inflatable buoy of cockpit.
