Solar energy for multi-day fishing vessels
The Sri Lanka Ocean University has taken steps to equip 3,500 multi-day fishing vessels with solar energy to prevent any breakdown in their radio network and electricity supply in mid-sea.
This project implemented by the university's lecturer N P G Pushpika under the guidance of Fisheries and Naval Engineering Institute Chairman Prof Ranjith Senanayake is aimed to minimize ship accidents in mid-sea. The solar battery cells and air and water tight electronic part needed for this project will be imported from China. The cells and the solar batteries used, will have a life span of about 10 years.
