FEATURED PROJECT
As part of the E-Alia project, McKay designed and manufactured five solar/battery-propelled electric catamaran vessels to transport passengers between five villages on the small islands of Manono and Namua. Constructed from aluminium, the 10-meter electric catamarans will be powered by two electric outboard engines, with the capacity to carry up to 12 passengers at a speed of 6-8 knots.
