HIGH EFFICIENCY
A typical 75 pax steel or wooden boat needs 80 hp engine power and consumes 15 litres of fuel per hour, whereas a GRP boat needs 40 hp engine power and consumes 8 litres per hour. Our Riveiere 75 need just 20 hp engine power and consumes only 4 litres of fuel while operating at 6 knots speed.
So in a day, while a 75 pax wooden or steel boat consume 108 litres of fuel, the GRP boat needs 58 litres of fuel, the Riveiere 75 need only 29 litres of diesel. In a year (350 days operation), the fuel consumption will be 37800 litres, 20300 litres, and 10,150 litres of diesel, respectively, for wooden/steel boats, GRP boats, and Riveiere 75.
With the current diesel price of INR 95 per litre, the yearly operating expense of a wooden /steel boat is INR 39.5 lakhs, and for a GRP boat, it is INR 21.2 lakhs. In the case of Riveiere 75, the yearly energy cost* will be INR 10.6 lakhs. (OPEX includes energy cost and maintenance cost @ 10% for lubes, filters, and overhaul).
