Abstract

This study investigates the integration of a solar photovoltaic system on the passenger ferry E.V. Calestia operating along Manila’s Pasig River. The ferry, equipped with dual 400 kW electric motors and a battery bank of 1848 kWh, is supplemented by 20 solar panels installed on its top deck. Using a Simulink-based simulation model, the research estimates the power output and cumulative energy generation based on panel specifications, solar irradiance, and system efficiency. Results show a maximum instantaneous power output of approximately 3 kW during peak sunlight and a total weekly energy generation of around 150 kWh. These findings demonstrate the potential of solar power to enhance the ferry’s energy sustainability by reducing reliance on conventional charging and lowering emissions, thus promoting greener maritime transport solutions in urban river environments.

Abstract

As an area with geographical conditions consisting of many islands, marine tourism in Batam has become a special attraction which has been developed through hotel investment, and coastal water tourism and travel-related services. Even though the demand is quite high, the availability of tourism boats to support coastal water tourism has low participation of the domestic industry. Therefore, this study aims to develop a tourism boat prototype designed and fabricated for coastal water tourism and travel-related services in Batam. This study began by studying the characteristics of coastal water, characteristics of tourism needs, design and development, and fabrication activities. Fiberglass is the material in shipbuilding because of the ease of the manufacturing process, and produces less waste and emissions. Based on the study results, it was found that the tourism boat needed is a 5 person capacity tourism boat with a length of 6 meters which can require 1 x 45 HP of power to reach a speed of 25 knots.As an area with geographical conditions consisting of many islands, marine tourism in Batam has become a special attraction which has been developed through hotel investment, and coastal water tourism and travel-related services.
