Project Background
This project was jointly implemented by GEES Junye Energy and partners, aiming to design and build Indonesia's first all-electric pilot boat. The project is not only a milestone in Indonesia's electric vessel sector but also provides a new model for the development of green shipping in Southeast Asia.
Project Challenges
The core challenge of this project was how to apply all-electric propulsion technology to small and medium-sized workboats while ensuring safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. GEES successfully overcame these challenges through modular design and advanced electrical control systems.
