Kochi has taken a major step towards Kerala’s tourism sector by introducing the first solar-powered tourist vessel named 'Sooryamshu'.
The vessel can accommodate up to 100 passengers at a time and has now begun operations in the waters of Ernakulam.
The double-decker vessel has a conference hall, DJ party floor and cafeteria along with amusement for the passengers.
The vessel is designed as a catamaran passenger ferry with two parallel hulls in order to render more speed to the vessel.
Sooryamshu’s solar panels have the capacity to produce 27 KW of energy and it has generators which will enable operation of passenger lift systems and air-conditioners.
