Built according to the P-2790 project, it has a Dynpos-2 classification and Arc4 ice class, and is one of the most technically advanced and equipped geological survey vessels in the world. It is involved in engineering, geological and geocryological mapping of the russian Arctic shelf, which allows us to assess the oil and gas potential of the region. It is capable of drilling parametric and exploration wells to a depth of up to 500 m in water depths of up to 500 m, drilling engineering and geological wells to a depth of up to 400 m in water depths of up to 1,100 m, carry out geotechnical studies of soils in boreholes at depths of up to 1800 m, study soil sections and their characteristics with onboard devices to a depth of up to 40 m at a water depth of up to 2500 m, collect samples of bottom soils at unlimited sea depths. The vessel belongs to the sanctioned russian company JSC Amige, which is managed by russia's largest geological exploration holding, the sanctioned company JSC Rosgeo. The vessel participates in projects of Gazprom, Rosneft, Novatek, Lukoil, and can resolve the issue of confirming the location of the outer boundary of the russian continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. It conducted exploratory drilling a few kilometres from USA maritime border. In February 2024, USA imposed sanctions on the "Bavenit" vessel.

It is the lead vessel in a series of two vessels of the 12883M project developed by the Vostok Design Bureau for mineral exploration. It is designed to carry out geological surveys of the seabed and deep ocean zones, prospecting and exploration of minerals, environmental monitoring, search and survey of various underwater objects, and engineering and geological studies of bottom soils. In February 2024, USA imposed sanctions on a vessel operated by the sanctioned russian state-owned multidisciplinary geological holding Rosgeologia JSC through its sanctioned subsidiary Yuzhmorgeologia JSC. Rosgeologia and its subsidiaries provide a range of geophysical services for the prospecting and exploration of oil and gas fields in russia, and are controlled by the russian government. Rosgeologia and its subsidiaries carry out hydrocarbon and solid mineral exploration operations in more than ten countries.

The vessel is designed to carry out comprehensive geological and geophysical research for the purpose of prospecting and exploration of solid minerals in the world oceans; comprehensive geological survey of economic zones and testing with a set analysis of bottom material; environmental monitoring; hydrophysical and hydrobiological research; search and photographic and television survey of sunken objects; testing of new technical means for the study and development of mineral resources of the world oceans.
