Considering Indonesia’s strategic geography and human resources, the country’s coastal fishermen should be prosperous. However, they are still struggling to make a living. For this reason, Azura is driven to support sustainable fishing practices where coastal fishermen can have lower-cost efficiency whilst improving their quality of life. In order to create a direct impact, and new economic sources, we hold regular training for fishermen to implement in their daily operations by utilizing the technology and thus, decreasing carbon footprint.
Our latest product is MantaOne, the evolutionary electric long tail engine. MantaOne replaces the conventional 4-stroke engines used to power “longtail” boat propulsion shafts, a type of propulsion particularly popular in Southeast Asia.
By using MantaOne, the user and fishermen can lower its monthly carbon footprint by up to 345 kg and offset up to 60% of its operating costs.
Two million small-scale fishermen produce more than eight million tons of carbon dioxide per year. This is caused by their use of gasoline and conventional engines which takes up 70% of their income to maintain.
Switching from combustion engines to the MantaOne, electric fishing boat engine will have a direct impact on carbon reduction of 78% and cost efficiency of 70% per trip. This is a source of pride and happiness for Indonesia.
