India’s First Solar Ferry & Electric Boat Which Is Powered By Solar Energy

Boats, ships, and ferries on marine land consume high fuel leading to carbon dioxide (CO2). The amount of carbon dioxide released causes the water in the ocean to be acidic, and marine species and ecosystems increasingly become vulnerable.

A Kochi start-up, NavAlt Solar Ferry & Electric Boat, is fashioning to design ferry and boat powered by solar energy. It is also working on the world’s first green energy RORO.

While marine transport may seem the ideal way of transportation but it consumes diesel, a highly polluting fossil fuel.

To help tackle this issue and bring justice to flora and fauna, Sandith Thandasherry is the founder and CEO of NavAlt Solar Ferry & Electric Boat. Aditya became the country’s first solar-powered ferry boat contemplating the minimize of polluted components in the ocean and promoting zero-emission gas with solar-powered mobility.

Mad4India brings a nature-oriented story of a Kochi-based entrepreneur, who is planning to go global with his solar-powered marine drives.

Solar Ferry & Electric Boat

It all started in 2013 when Sandith started NavAlt. Before that, he was a naval architect by profession. He would move to places and design the outline of the ships. He graduated from IIT Madras.

Before launching his start-up on solar-powered ferry and electric boat, he worked in South Korean shipyards, famous for its big naval shipbuilders.

He was in his early 20s when his passion for shipbuilding began. In a chance encounter, while he was building designs for Navgathi, he cracked an opportunity to build India’s first solar boat, and thus came the start of NavAlt Solar Ferry & Electric Boat...
