The European Energy Trends conference was held in the chamber hall of the Prague City Council on Mariánské náměstí on 22 November 2016; it is part of the long-term Smart City programme, with the goal of creating smart cities for a better and safer life.
The main topic of the conference was reducing the energy consumption of the Czech Republic in the areas of industry, energy, construction and transport.
Prague Boats and its concept of greener boat transport in Prague go hand in hand with this long-term project. This is also evidenced by the modernisation of our fleet, on which we keep the public regularly informed.
For sightseeing cruises and private cruises we operate new eco-friendly boats such as the Bohemia Rhapsody (year of build 2015) with hybrid propulsion, the Grand Bohemia (year of build 2014), as well as smaller boats such as the electric vessel Mistr Jan Hus (2015) or the hybrid mahogany Šárka-class boats ( 2008-2010). Quite unique is the Elektronemo boat (2009), which sails using solar energy. One of its moorings is the eco-friendly Kampa harbour.
A novelty in 2015 was also the opening of a new ferry between Holešovice, Karlín and Štvanice Island, on which sails the aluminium catamaran Hol ka, equipped with an eco-friendly low-emission engine with controlled high-pressure fuel injection.
This trend is our long-term programme and we believe that it will help make Prague a true "smart city".
