Two boats with the same passenger capacity may encounter completely different energy and performance requirements on different lines.
For this reason, Navarc does not start the process directly with the selection of the boat model in commercial projects.
The first step is to create the task profile.
Route length, number of daily trips, passenger or cargo target, service speed, port infrastructure and annual usage hours are among the basic inputs considered in the first technical evaluation.
Based on this information, the hull, propulsion and energy architecture required by the boat is determined.
For example, the battery and charging strategy of a short-distance but very high-frequency line may not be the same as a longer-distance but low-frequency line.
Similarly, existing charging infrastructure in the port may also affect the energy storage capacity on the boat.
The aim of Navarc's project-based engineering approach is to optimize these variables within a single system.
This method is important not only in terms of technical performance but also in terms of investment decisions.
Unnecessary capacity or incorrectly sized power systems can increase initial investment costs, while undersized systems can create operational constraints.
The right engineering solution is determined according to the real usage scenario.
