The Solar Sailer is a solar hybrid ferry working the Melborne Harbour. Very cool.
From their corporate bumf:
This document describes safe and efficient hybrid marine power (HMP) technology that is applicable today.
It features examples of vessels that can utilise such technology. The designs can be tailored to your specific needs. All are hybrid electric and add solar and in some cases wind to aide in propulsion.
All vessels are safe, efficient and capable of zero emissions at the wharf. They are ideal for the use of alternative fuels and as platforms for new technology such as energy storage and fuel cells.
Solar Sailor vessels are the “greenest’ vessels in the world commercially available and would
be a perfect fit with any modern, sophisticated organisation.
