SRAV
At Navalt, we’re at the forefront of revolutionizing the fishing industry by pioneering electric catamarans—an innovation poised to redefine the field. Our history, steeped in diesel-powered vessels, is now evolving with our latest breakthrough, the SRAV (shark in Malayalam). The SRAV stands as the world’s first solar-electric fishing boat, embodying our commitment to innovation and sustainability. Collaborating with the Shell Foundation, we’re embarking on the construction of 100 solar-electric fishing vessels, dedicated to reshaping the industry while elevating the livelihoods of fishing communities worldwide.
Efficiency Redefined
Our flagship SRAV solar-electric catamaran is meticulously designed to significantly reduce operational costs, thereby boosting fishermen’s earnings. Powered by the MAKO 12 kW electric motor, the SRAV effortlessly glides through the sea at an impressive speed of 7 knots—setting a new benchmark in its class. Embracing the SRAV means a seamless fishing experience without the burden of fuel expenses or maintenance costs, maximizing profitability for fishermen.
Environmental Commitment
Beyond economics, the SRAV embodies our commitment to sustainability. Its solar-electric power system drastically reduces carbon emissions, ensuring a cleaner and greener fishing environment. By transitioning from traditional diesel to renewable energy, we’re contributing to a healthier ecosystem while embracing modern technology.
Empowering Fishing Communities
The introduction of the SRAV marks a significant shift for fishermen facing a formidable challenge: soaring fuel expenses. This financial burden severely impacts their revenue. By integrating the SRAV into their daily operations, fishermen can transform these colossal fuel expenses into substantial profits. This transformation not only ensures a better livelihood but also opens avenues for sustainable growth within their communities.
Safety and Stability at Sea
The SRAV stands as a testament to safety and stability in the maritime domain. Meticulously engineered to navigate in rough seas with waves reaching up to 2 meters in height, its catamaran design guarantees unparalleled stability during operations. This design not only ensures safety but also minimizes water drag, maximizing operational efficiency.
Unlike traditional fishing boats, the SRAV is equipped with state-of-the-art safety features, capable of accommodating up to 6 crew members and carrying an impressive 2 tonnes of catch. Its construction from long-lasting marine-grade FRP composite ensures a smooth operational lifespan of 20 years, surpassing the durability of traditional wooden or steel fishing boats.
