A fleet of foiling, electric shuttle ships is set to be deployed on the Red Sea. In a landmark deal, the Candela P-12, the world’s first electric hydrofoil ship, will service the planned water network in NEOM, the gigantic, sustainable development taking shape in Northwest Saudi Arabia. A video about NEOM can be found in this link<\/a>. NEOM has procured an initial batch of 8 of the foiling, electric shuttle ships, making it the largest announced order in Candela\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The Candela P-12 are foiling, electric shuttle ships<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“The P-12 is designed to create zero-emission water transport systems which have significant improvements over traditional water commuting\u201d, says Gustav Hasselskog, CEO and founder of Candela<\/a>. \u201cUnlike legacy systems with large, slow, and energy-inefficient conventional ferries, the Candela P-12 is a smaller and faster unit, allowing much more frequent departures and quicker journeys for passengers. All daily necessities and services will be just a short boat commute away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candela P-12 was launched last year and is set to debut in Stockholm\u2019s public transport during fall 2024<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Flying above the waves on computer-guided underwater wings, hydrofoils, the P-12 uses 80% less energy than conventional ships, allowing it to combine long range and high speed for the first time in an electric vessel. With a speed of 25 knots and more than 2 hours of endurance, the Candela P-12 holds the distinction of being the fastest and longest-range foiling, electric shuttle ship for passengers to date.<\/p>\n

The hydrofoils also unlock a new level of comfort. Passengers will fly smoothly over the Red Sea, as the P-12\u2019s digital flight control system balances the ship 100 times per second by adjusting the hydrofoils’ angle of attack, keeping it stable even in winds and waves.<\/p>\n

The foiling, electric shuttle ships use 80% less energy than conventional ships of the same size<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As fuel usage rather than the manufacturing phase makes up the bulk of a ships\u2019 environmental impact, energy efficiency is crucial to curb emissions. Since Candela\u2019s foiling vessels use 80% less energy than conventional ships of the same size, a life cycle analysis performed by the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm concluded that a P-12 will emit 97.5% less CO2 during its lifetime compared to a conventional diesel vessel of the same size.<\/p>\n

The Candela P-12 seats between 20 and 30 people depending on configuration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The electric Candela C-POD motors, located in pods underwater, are exceptionally silent and create minimal disturbance for marine wildlife. When flying, the P-12 creates only a negligible wake, allowing for quicker journeys where conventional ships are speed-restricted due to their massive and damaging wakes.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re extremely proud to provide a vessel system designed with both passengers and the environment in mind. Short waiting times, quick connections, and a very enjoyable experience without taxing the environment with wakes, emissions, and noise will revolutionize how we travel on water,” said Gustav Hasselskog of Candela. The first batch of 8 vessels will be delivered in 2025 and early 2026.<\/p>\n

We wonder when we will see these foiling, electric shuttle ships in the canals in Amsterdam? <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
