Cooling in the fishing boat

Background

Trawlers need to be prepared for week-long fishing trips, with related costs often exceeding US$1,400 a trip. Fishermen prepares necessary arrangements for their boats , patch works for nets, dumping sufficient ice in cold storages, sparing diesel oil, cooking provisions etc. This journey will carry about two weeks of time.

These boats can go upto 20 kilometers from the shore with a nominal storage without ice. Fishermen go deep in the sea with mechanized boats / fibre boats / trawlers  need full equipment i.e. ice, diesel, hooks, cooking preparations etc.

The major challenge for the long trip a boat usually faced is the shortage of Ice /cooling systems.

Our aim is to design solar cooling systems suitable for the boat. Some picture s are attached below.
