North Korea says it’s running solar-powered ferries in the capital Pyongyang.

North Korean official news agency KCNA has released footage of a cruiser sailing through Taedong River in Pyongyang with a solar panel onboard.

According to the cruiser’s captain, the ferries are capable of carrying up to 60 passengers. They are also going to be used for sight-seeing and tourism as well as providing reservation services for local and foreign guests.

North Korea had earlier released images of the boats through a monthly magazine intended for foreign readers.
