V. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR TWIN - CABIN HOUSE BOAT

1. DESCRIPTION

The concept is inspired by the success of the Kerala type House Boats which ply in their hundreds in the
backwater lagoons of Kerala, primarily in the Alappuzha, Kollam region in the adjoining connected lakes
of Vembanad, Ashtamudi and Kayamkulam. The house boats there are adapted from the early rice boats
that were common in the region, primarily for transporting traditional cargo items. The unique boat hull
shape, and the parabolic thatched roof render them particularly attractive with an ethnic look, and the
graceful movement of these boats in placid waters give the tourists a memorable experience. Hence it is
important to retain the ethnic characteristics of these boats in the evolution of a similar or modified
design for the Chilika lake. The boats are primarily intended for calm waters. If there are wave
conditions in the Chilika lake, then consideration may have to be given for appropriate structural
strength. Primarily the house boats are not intended for open sea or coastal sea conditions. The house
boats are therefore considered to be operable in select calm water or near calm water regions. The hull
form is symmetric about fore and aft. The typical dimension of a house boat is 24m x 4.5m x 1.5m depth
and draft of 0.6m. The typical layout consists of a short forward deck, a front ‘verandah’ deck with roof
for protection against the weather, two self sufficient air conditioned cabins with attached toilets and a
galley (kitchen). The engine room is situated aft below deck and the boat is powered with typically 100
HP inboard diesel engine, driving a screw propeller. Additional auxiliary generator is used to power the
vessel for lighting and air-conditioning purpose, miscellaneous pumps, etc. The total displacement

13
(weight) of the boat is approximately 8 tonnes. These specifications may be varied to control the cost
and sophistication of the boat.

It is also worthwhile to consider a catamaran hull form which would give a broad beam, large stability
and ample floor space for the cabins and with the possibility of say 4 cabins in place of 2. However, the
traditional house boat appearance, especially of the roof structure, may be altered by choosing the
catamaran hull in lieu of the mono hull form.

Some changes are necessary from the ethnic classical house boats. They are traditional wooden and the
roof is thatched from natural bamboo and bamboo woven mats. However these are prone to
deterioration and annual maintenance is both cumbersome and costly. The alternative material for the
hull is fibre glass (weight comparable to the wooden hulls and lighter compared to steel). The upper roof
structure too should be of light durable material like fibre glass suitably sheathed to have pleasing look.
The deck must have water tight integrity and the hull must be sub-divided for safety in the event of
damage and flooding. From environmental considerations, all the boats must be fitted with eco-toilets.

VII. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC BOATS WITH 20/6
PASSENGER CAPACITIES FOR INLAND WATERS AND LAKE

The boat hull is a wide deck (catamaran type) of optimum dimensions to facilitate placement of solar
panels on the roof and other available space. The boat is to be built under DNV class. It is to be fitted
with electric thrusters which take power from the batteries, which are in turn to be charged by the solar
panels. The feasibility of the design must be demonstrated with adequate checks. The placement of
solar cell panels, the maximum power derived from these on the basis of their efficiency, and the
balance between the power required by the electric propulsors and the power available from the solar
cell panels should be worked out. There should be adequate reserve power in the event of low charging
of the batteries by the solar panels. All intermediate conversions such as charging current to the
batteries, conversion of output battery power by Inverters, DC to DC conversion before power can be
given to the electric thrusters must be submitted along with the design. For any deficiency of power
supply from the solar cell panels, there must be adequate provision to charge the batteries from the
main grid power source on shore such as during day halts or during off working periods. The boat speed
is moderate and the key objective is the demonstration of sustainable, silent, eco friendly green energy
based tourism. The boat is to operate in calm water conditions at Chilka and Tampara lakes. The
feasibility of the design should be adequately demonstrated in the offer. Any need for alternate engine
powered thruster should be clearly brought out and provided in the technical offer. A General
arrangement drawing should be provided to show the profile, plan and end view of the boat, seating
plan and location of principal elements in the power and propulsion system.

VIII. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR 2 Seater FRP Pedal Boat/ 4 Seater FRP Pedal
Boat

knocks.
3. The pedal boat should be fitted with a manually operated plate rudder with smooth surface and
it should have a smoothly rotating efficient pivot and lever with handle. The rudder should be
tucked within the overall dimensions of the boat. Rudder stoppers must be provided to limit
