The estimated cost of transferring a cruise boat to run by CNG is varying from 252 kEGP (12k€) to 336 kEGP<br />
(16 k€) and doesn't cost more than 109,200 EGP (5,200 €) from small boats.<br />
The planned action is set through the following assessments and development:<br />
• Develop a thorough assessment of the situation of tourists boats (small and large);<br />
- Assess the condition, engine size and power capacity required for large cruise boats,<br />
- Examine the condition, engine size and capacity required for small dhows, and<br />
- Estimate the amount of CNG needed to supply converted boats.<br />
• Identify potential technical partners to contribute to boat conversion to CNG,<br />
• Implementing the plan to convert cruise boats and small passenger boats to operate with CNG, and<br />
• Develop a study to install Solar PV onto cruise boats for supplying electricity from renewable energy.<br />
The ambition is to convert 110 cruise boats and 155 small passengers boats.<br />
Note that docks could also be equipped with solar PV. This should be done as part of the general effort to<br />
promote solar energy in the City of <strong>Luxor</strong> along the lines of the development of solar power plants around<br />
the city.<br />
