Gresik, March 31, 2026 – The BINTANG LAUT (Revitalizing Wind and Solar Technology Innovation for the Oceans) clean energy program, initiated by Orela Shipyard—an affiliate of ELPI—in collaboration with the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), was officially launched and handed over to the fishing community of Ngemboh Village, Ujungpangkah, Gresik.
This program serves as tangible proof of the implementation of renewable energy technology innovations in the coastal sector through the application of a hybrid wind and solar power system designed to support fishermen’s operational activities sustainably.
Since its installation, the BINTANG LAUT system has been able to supply stable electricity both day and night. The presence of this technology has brought significant changes for fishermen who previously relied on limited energy sources for their fishing activities.
Led by Dr. Dendi Satrio (ITS) and Dr. Soegeng Riyadi (Orela Shipyard), this program has proven to be not only technically efficient but also practical in the field. With a simple technological design that adapts to coastal weather conditions, the system can be easily operated by the local community.
From an economic standpoint, the implementation of BINTANG LAUT has successfully reduced fishermen’s operational costs by up to 90%, while simultaneously lowering carbon emissions by more than 99% through the use of clean and environmentally friendly energy.
In addition, more stable lighting also helps boost fishermen’s productivity. Optimizing lighting during fishing activities leads to increased work efficiency and catch yields.
The successful implementation of this program also earned the Orela Shipyard team—an affiliate of ELPI—an award in the Implementation category at the PFsains 2025 event. More than just a competition achievement, BINTANG LAUT represents the company’s commitment to delivering technological innovations that have a direct impact on the community.
Through this program, Orela Shipyard, as an ELPI affiliate, reaffirms its commitment to continuously driving the development of sustainable maritime technology that supports the well-being of coastal communities and the transition toward clean energy in Indonesia.
