The Sunsark name derives from Cutty Sark, the last of the wind-powered tea clippers and the Sun’s arc across the sky, a key to solar energy. Sunsark’s registered trademark is a computer-aided design image of the sun, the sun’s arc and the top of a sail mast in a clear blue sky, viewed through a window into the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602861985e62e8549f4a017c/1614916559923-CTTDNVD6CZ1EV6KK2KUZ/JOY_4903.jpg About https://sunsark.com.au/services daily 0.75 2025-03-15 https://sunsark.com.au/research daily 0.75 2025-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602861985e62e8549f4a017c/1613981087348-O7LCXHAGMTMS7U20HFSG/Figure-1.jpg Research - The Little Ferry Setting a Big Example in Urban River Transport This article chronicles the first commercial all-electric ferry in Australia.
