Aurelia's approach toward net zero ships
The ABC Ferry Project: A New Era of Island Connectivity
AURELIA is bridging the gap between the ABC Islands with a high-performance, Net Zero maritime system designed for immediate real-world implementation.
By moving away from costly air-dependency, we are introducing a sustainable alternative that treats the Caribbean not as a series of isolated points, but as a continuous, connected economy.
Our approach integrates three core pillars:
- Decarbonized Engineering: Utilizing patented hull designs to ensure fuel independence and sea stability.
- Operational Intelligence: Applying “Smart Passage Planning” to align transit with daily life, ensuring people can travel and cargo can flow without disrupting the work week.
- Community-Centric Design: Transforming the vessel from a simple transit tool into a floating platform for local commerce, culture, and regional growth.
With active government engagement ahead of the 2026 tenders, the ABC Ferry Project serves as the blueprint for our global mission to reconnect island nations from the Caribbean to the Pacific.
Penelope
Our sailing lab to demonstrate green propulsion
Investing in a green technology, whether as a venture capitalist or a ship owner, that has never been tested on a commercial vessel is inherently risky. What if the system breaks down? What if the gains are not as promised by the supplier? What if the crew is unable to operate the technology properly?
AURELIA offers PENELOPE as a derisking platform for maritime green technologies. Innovations are tested on a medium-sized vessel designed specifically for modular integration and performance monitoring. PENELOPE also operates as a commercial vessel, transporting cargo between islands, enabling real-world validation of both technical and economic viability.
And with luxury cabins on board, stakeholders can experience the solutions firsthand.
