New Delhi, June 13, 2022: Developed and built in Belfast, the zero-emission vessels are said to be “the greenest workboats on the planet” and represent a £12 million (€13.9 million) investment in research and development.
With a top speed of 34 knots and a range of 60 nautical miles at 25 knots cruise speed, the vessels produce energy savings of up to 90% compared to conventional fossil fuel workboats.
Powered by the Artemis eFoiler propulsion system, the workboats fly silently above the water, ensuring a comfortable gliding experience no matter the sea conditions and creating minimal wake, making them an ideal solution for traditionally busy waterways.
Aimed specifically at the global workboat and crew transfer market, Artemis Technologies’ electric foiling workboat range ensures reliability that has been developed and tested on the marine digital twin simulator located in Belfast.
