Malaysian Mangroves
Malaysian mangroves are vital natural infrastructure: they provide habitat for up to 80% of commercially important fish species, reduce storm-wave heights by up to 66%, prevent erosion and stabilize shorelines, improve water quality and clarity, and contribute up to $1 billion annually to the local economy.
The Problem with Current Boat Trip
Current mangrove boats are noisy, polluting, and harmful to the ecosystem, lacking sustainable and low-impact design.
Oil Spill
Vessel Waves
Engine Noise
Oversized Vessels
Background Research
including human sitting posture and sitting distance. I selected a specific type of trimaran as the foundation for my final concept.
Design Concept
A lightweight electric trimaran for mangrove exploration — Stable, Silent, and Low-impact. It protects shallow ecosystems, supports eco-tourism and research, and serves as a floating bridge between people and nature.

Designed to Envision
This section presents the design process — from the initial conceptual sketches to the integration of the trimaran concept
Enhanced stability
The overall boat is designed in a trimaran configuration,allowing for a smoother ride in the sea and increased comfort for the traveler which could reduce the discomfort of seasickness
Adaptive shade
The awning above the seat can retract into and extend from the rear compartment when sunlight is intense. Its translucent roof provides UV protection while maintaining clear visibility.
Hydrodynamics
The boat’s front section is positioned between two side panels, allowing water to flow smoothly through the gap and reducing flow fluctuations.

which showcase the orthographic views, exploded structure, and interface interaction design.
Wave mitigation
The water waves passing over the boats will produce smaller waves.
This reduces the impact of the waves on the mangrove roots
