Recently, the Anhui Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology officially announced the winners of the 13th Anhui Provincial Industrial Design Competition. Tri Water New Energy Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. was awarded the Excellence Award in the "Design Journey Presentation Group" of the Comprehensive Category for its project, "Green Voyage on Water: Craftsmanship Empowers—100-Passenger Pure Electric New Energy Sightseeing Boat."

Against the backdrop of the "Dual Carbon" goals and the advancement of ecological civilization, water tourism is rapidly transitioning toward eco-friendly experiences. To address the industry pain points of traditional fuel-powered sightseeing boats—such as "high energy consumption, high pollution, high noise, and poor experience"—the Tri Water New Energy team conducted in-depth frontline research. By deeply integrating industrial design concepts with cutting-edge technology, the team has created this flagship green sightseeing boat that combines environmental protection, intelligence, and aesthetics.

Blending natural aesthetics to create an immersive sightseeing experience.

In terms of exterior styling, the vessel draws inspiration from fluid forms in nature and the elegant postures of aquatic creatures. Its streamlined, lightweight design not only effectively reduces hydrodynamic resistance while sailing, but also makes the hull resemble a flying fish leaping from the water or a willow leaf gently drifting on the waves—becoming a flowing scenic sight on the water. Inside, the cabin scientifically accommodates 100 passengers. Large panoramic glass curtain walls break the spatial boundaries, creating a 360° unobstructed, immersive sightseeing experience.

Backed by hardcore technology, leading the way in zero-emission smart navigation.

As a new-generation new energy sightseeing vessel, this product abandons the traditional fuel-powered propulsion system and is equipped with a high-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack and a pure electric/diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system. In pure electric mode, it achieves zero exhaust emissions and zero oil leakage throughout the voyage, while delivering a quiet and comfortable experience of under 50 decibels. The vessel is equipped with an intelligent navigation system, smart cabin interaction, and a smart operations management platform, enabling ship-wide information integration and significantly enhancing navigation safety and operational efficiency. Economically, compared with traditional diesel vessels, the pure electric mode can save approximately 1 million RMB in operating costs for an annual voyage of 40,000 kilometers.

Demonstrating commercial value: chinese green vessels go global.

This design scheme not only possesses exceptional ecological and social value but also demonstrates broad commercial viability. With its distinctive advantages—high aesthetic appeal, superior passenger experience, and low maintenance costs—the product has successfully gained international market recognition. Tri Water New Energy has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of New Energy of the Maldives to export 32 units of 100-passenger electric tourism vessels to the country. This marks China's first large-scale export of electric tourism vessels, symbolizing that China-made green vessels are striding confidently onto the world stage.

This award is a high recognition of Tri Water New Energy's innovative strength in the fields of industrial design and green shipbuilding. In the future, Tri Water New Energy will continue to deepen its commitment to green innovation, empowering the upgrade of the shipbuilding industry through craftsmanship-driven design. By safeguarding lucid waters and lush mountains with low-carbon products, the company will help China's green and intelligent vessels sail into the deep blue, continuously injecting the "Tri Water" momentum into the high-quality development of the regional green economy and the global waterborne cultural tourism industry.
