The PlanetSolar, the first solar-powered boat

The PlanetSolar, the first solar-powered boat to travel around the world, arrives at the VivoCity shopping centre waterfront in Singapore. The 31m by 15m white catamaran, in Singapore for a 15-day stop-over, was unveiled to the world last year and has embarked on a world tour from Monaco since September to promote solar energy for pollution-free shipping. The Swiss-flagged boat, which was built in Germany and cost 26 million USD, is topped by 500 square metres of black solar panels, with a bright white cockpit sticking up in the centre.
