Boonsiri Ferry Introduces New Eco-Friendly Vessels

Boonsiri Sealine Ferry is proud to announce the addition of two new eco-friendly catamarans to our fleet, marking a significant step in our commitment to sustainable tourism and reducing our environmental footprint.

The new vessels, named "Ocean Guardian" and "Sea Protector," feature state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion systems that reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional ferries of similar size. This technology significantly lowers carbon emissions while maintaining the speed and comfort our passengers expect.

Key features of the new vessels include:

  • Hybrid diesel-electric propulsion systems
  • Solar panels to power onboard lighting and electronics
  • Advanced waste management systems
  • Noise reduction technology to minimize impact on marine life
  • Increased capacity of 250 passengers each
  • Premium seating options with panoramic views

"These new vessels represent the future of maritime transportation in Thailand," said Somchai Boonsiri, CEO. "We believe that providing excellent service to our passengers and protecting the beautiful marine environment of Thailand can and should go hand in hand."

The Ocean Guardian will serve the Chumphon to Koh Tao route, while the Sea Protector will operate between Surat Thani and Koh Samui. Both vessels will begin service next month, with special inaugural promotions to be announced soon.
