Eco Factor: Sustainable farm ship concept equipped with solar and wind energy generators.
China’s shipbuilding ability has represented its power throughout history and the China Shipping Pavilion at this year’s Shanghai Expo is showcasing some major improvements in the country’s shipbuilding industry along with a new concept for the future – a floating farm ship.
Themed as “Better Shipping, Better City”, the model of the farm ship measures about one meter in length and features green vegetables, wind power generators and solar panels. Moreover, between the fore and the stern, people can see groups of hens eating on grass.
The real ship will be about 330 meters long and 60 meters wide and will be able to perform a variety of functions, including food production, water desalination, poultry rising and renewable energy generation. The zero-emission ship will include recycled materials and all the energy it needs will be supplied by onboard renewable energy generators.
