Energy Observer, the world’s first renewable energy-powered vessel, is making a stopover in Ho Chi Minh City as part of its world tour, since 2017.

 

Energy Observer docks at Khanh Hoi Port in HCMC's District 4 on Wednesday as part of its visit to the city from June 18 to 29.

 

The French vessel has been on a world tour for five years without having to consume any fossil fuel. It is the first vessel in the world that is autonomous in energy thanks to her onboard technologies, combining multiple sources of solar, wind and hydropower produced on board.

Agreed, the headline makes it sound like zero emission ships are a new concept.......????

A great concept. Expensive now, but as with most technology, it will take approximately 10-15 years before that technology filters down to the general public for use and purchase.
