The Aquarius Eco Ship is a concept design project that is studying how ship designs and associated system can be modified to best use wind & solar power as a source of renewable energy by incorporating the Aquarius MRE System.

This project was started in May 2011 and the first details of the…

Wind power has been used by ships as a means of propulsion for thousands of years, but with the advent of the steam and internal combustion engines during the Industrial Revolution the use of sail power fell away sharply from around the mid-19th century.

Hi Jim,

Perhaps our FAQ about the Aquarius System will give you a better understanding of how it will work: http://www.ecomarinepower.com/en/aquarius-system-faq

Water transport is one of the most efficient public transport options available and is particularly suited for urban areas near bays, rivers and canals. However passenger and commuter ferries that use fossil fuels release harmful exhaust fumes that are hazardous for humans and bad for the…

There are many cases where solar-electric technology is particularity suited for ships and boats that operate on bays, lakes and rivers. These applications include solar ferries, solar tourist boats and solar cruise vessels.

Therefore to develop a cost effective vessel or solar ferry specifically…

Wind power and solar energy are already popular sources of clean energy on land so Eco Marine Power is working with a number of development partners on an international project to develop a system that will allow the ships of the future to be powered in a greener and more eco-friendly way using…

Eco Marine Power Co. Ltd. announced today that Corvus Energy Ltd. will supply the energy storage component for its groundbreaking, patent-pending Aquarius Wind and Solar Power System for ocean-going ships. Since 2010, Eco Marine Power has worked on developing an advanced integrated system of rigid,…

Another step forward in the development of the Aquarius System was made recently when work begun on the detailed design of the wind and solar sail panel. This panel or rigid sail will be used to harness wind & solar energy which will then be used to help power a ship thereby reducing fuel…
