Japan, Malaysia to cooperate on RE solutions for shipping industry

Will first focus on building solar-electric urban passenger ferries in Malaysia.

Japan’s Eco Marine Power has signed a memorandum of understanding with AIMS Global Engineering of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia to market and develop renewable energy solutions for shipping.

The companies will initially focus on completing the detailed design of the Medaka eco-commuter ferry to start marketing this innovative solar-electric urban passenger ferry across the Asia-Pacific later this year.

The Medaka eco-commuter ferry will incorporate a range of technologies including hybrid marine propulsion, a data management system, Lithium-ion storage modules and a solar array incorporating flexible solar panels.

Eco Marine Power and AIMS Global Engineering will also cooperate on a project to incorporate a renewable energy solution onto an existing offshore support vessel and explore the possibility of working together during the sea trials of EMP’s Aquarius MRE System and EnergySail technologies.
