Al Seer Marine Drives Sustainability by 3D-Printing the World's First Electric Abra

In a groundbreaking development for maritime transport, Al Seer Marine has announced the creation of the world's first electric Abra for Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This innovative vessel, utilizes advanced 3D printing technology while honoring the traditional design of the iconic Abra.

Designed to meet the modern demands of Dubai’s bustling waterways, the Abra integrates innovative technology to provide an efficient and sustainable mode of transport. This initiative is a strategic move that aligns with the global push towards sustainable transportation solutions, underscoring Al Seer Marine's commitment to environmental responsibility.

The 11-meter-long, 3.1-meter-wide Abra is powered by two electric outboard engines and lithium batteries, seamlessly blending traditional design with modern technology. Engineered to reduce manufacturing time, minimize carbon footprint, and significantly lower operational and maintenance expenses, the Abra sets a new standard for sustainable maritime transport.

Al Seer Marine's robotic 3D printing technology enables the fabrication of large sections of the vessel in a single process, enhancing structural integrity and reducing assembly time. This method cuts material waste by up to 30% compared to traditional manufacturing, further minimizing environmental impact. Precision engineering ensures seamless integration of electrical systems, including conduits and mounting points for battery packs, motors, and control systems, guaranteeing efficient production and high performance.

The Abra produces zero emissions, significantly reducing the environmental impact of water transportation in Dubai. This innovative approach positions Al Seer Marine and RTA at the forefront of eco-friendly maritime solutions, contributing to a greener future for the region's waterways while preserving cultural heritage.
