WATCH: Design plans for 100 per cent electric ‘flying’ ship unveiled

accreditation

Design plans for a zero emission 100% electric “flying” ferry have been unveiled.

The EF-24 Passenger vessel uses cutting-edge hydrofoil technology to lift the craft out of the water, enabling it to sail above the waves.

Maritime design company Artemis Technologies has described it as a “game changer” for the global high-speed ferry market.

Raising the hull above the water dramatically cuts drag, delivering estimated fuel cost savings of up to 85% compared to conventional diesel-powered ferries.
