Artemis Technologies is making significant strides with its EF-24 Passenger ferry, a groundbreaking innovation in high-speed electric maritime transport. The construction of this pioneering vessel is progressing rapidly, setting a new standard for sustainable travel and offering a glimpse into the future of maritime transportation.
The Artemis EF-24 Passenger ferry represents a major leap forward in the effort to reduce maritime emissions. Designed to address both the need for efficient transportation and the imperative to cut carbon emissions, this vessel aims to transform urban travel and open up previously unused waterways for cities around the world.
Artemis EF-24 Key Features and Specifications
- Capacity: 150 Passengers
- Top Speed: 36 knots
- Cruise Speed: 34 knots
- Foiling Range: 70 nautical miles
The EF-24 is a 100% electric foiling ferry that utilizes Artemis Technologies’ proprietary Artemis eFoiler® technology. This system has undergone rigorous testing to ensure exceptional performance and comfort, even in challenging conditions. The ferry’s design focuses on reducing wake, allowing for high-speed operations close to shore while minimizing environmental impact.
A Leap Towards Sustainable Maritime Transport
Dr. Iain Percy OBE, CEO of Artemis Technologies, emphasized the significance of this development “Today, we are another step closer to our mission of delivering a sustainable maritime future. We are proud to demonstrate to the world that we can decarbonise, decongest, and revolutionise urban transportation, offering cheaper, less disruptive, and more enjoyable ways to travel. This progress underscores the possibility of real, meaningful change, addressing the challenge of reducing global greenhouse gases.”
The Artemis EF-24 Passenger is not only a technological marvel but also a cost-effective solution for transport operators. Compared to traditional high-speed diesel ferries, it offers substantial operational expenditure (OPEX) savings due to its superior energy efficiency, lower fuel costs, and reduced maintenance needs.
Enhancing Passenger Experience
Passengers will benefit from a smooth, comfortable ride as the ferry glides above the waves, eliminating the usual bumps and associated seasickness. The vessel’s electric propulsion ensures a quieter and more pleasant journey, free from air and water pollution, aligning with global net-zero initiatives.
Efficient and Sustainable Operation
The Artemis EF-24’s ultra-fast charging capability means a full charge can be achieved in under 60 minutes, supporting continuous operations with minimal downtime. Its low servicing requirements further highlight Artemis Technologies’ commitment to efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The Future of Urban Mobility
The Artemis EF-24 Passenger ferry stands at the forefront of a new era in maritime transport, promising to revolutionize city travel while contributing to a greener, more sustainable future. With build slots filling up quickly, ferry operators are encouraged to secure their place and experience the benefits of this advanced technology.
Artemis Technologies continues to lead the way in redefining the maritime industry, driving towards cleaner seas and a brighter tomorrow. For more information on the Artemis EF-24 Passenger ferry and to enquire about available build slots, visit Artemis Technologies’ website.
