Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago country with 2/3 is the waters so that many have the potential for marine tourism and attract tourists. The Labuan Bajo region is one of the favorite tourist destinations that is often visited by domestic and foreign tourists. Island destinations that are favorite visited by tourists in Labuan Bajo are Duty Island, Kelor Island, Karangan Island and Makasar Island.
The distance of the cruise route taken is divided into four stages, namely: (1) Duty Island - Kelor Island (589 m), (2) Kelor Island - Karangan Island (2,811m), (3) Karangan Island - Makasar Island (2,836m) , and (4) Makasar Island - Duty Island (2,233m). The planned cruise time is 9 hours from 07.00-16.00 local time (local time) so that shipping and solar energy efficiency for the battery charge can be done optimally. Based on the results of this study, the transportation system in the region can use 5 Electric Ships with optimum speed at 10 Knots, where the travel time for 1 boat trip is 237 minutes and each ship can sail as many as 2 trips in that vulnerable time.
