Hong Kong waters will soon be home to four new solar-powered hybrid ferries being built by a local shipyard using a design and expertise provided by an Australian company called Solar Sailor. The vessels are being purchased by the Hong Kong Jockey Club as part of a HK$350 million (US$45 million) drive to make the city more environmentally conscious, but are also seen as a way to help the world chart a course toward a future where green technology makes good business sense. And they are very stylish, futuristic, and high-tech cool!
