Summary:- The Barracuda, India’s fastest solar-electric boat, represents a significant step towards sustainable maritime transportation. Jointly developed by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders and Navalt, the boat boasts a top speed of 12 knots and can operate for seven hours on a single charge. It is designed to be entirely eco-friendly, with zero pollution and no noise or vibration, thanks to its twin 50 kW electric motors, marine-grade LFP battery, and 6 kW solar power. The 14-meter long and 4.4-meter wide vessel can navigate through 4-meter high waves and accommodate 12 passengers. The Barracuda’s introduction, especially at Mazagon Dock in Mumbai, marks a move towards greener maritime practices and could inspire the development of more sustainable vessels in the future. Its recognition at the Berlin Start-up Energy Transition Awards 2023 underscores its importance in the global shift towards eco-friendly transportation.
