Stockholm-based Candela Technology AB announced on September 6th 2024 the sale of a Candela P-12 electrical hydrofoiling ferry to constitution cruises in Berlin.
“Berlin is a city with a lot of water, but this is hardly used for transport. We want to open up waterways for fast, emission-free transport. We need that if we want to reduce emissions and congestion on the roads,” mentioned Brigitte Junker from Candela.
From the press launch:
“After five years of research and development, Candela began producing the world’s first electric hydrofoil leisure boat in 2019, the Candela C-7 open roadster of the seas. This was followed in 2022 by the high-volume market Candela C-8, which was delivered to the first customers in spring 2023. Over 150 C-8 units have been sold to date.”
“In 2023, Candela launched its first commercial passenger vessel, the Candela P-12 Shuttle ferry. It is the fastest and longest-range electric ship ever built, with a top speed of 30 knots and a range of 40 nautical miles at 25 knots. It is also the most energy-efficient fast ship ever made in its size class. Substantial operational cost savings are expected. The first unit enters service in Stockholm’s public transport system in 2024.”
I discovered this information particularly fascinating, since I’m really touring to Stockholm on the eleventh of October to check out the P-12 myself!
I will likely be again with my very own impressions of this extraordinary boating know-how, which really has made a number of effectivity world data already, like furthest traveled 24-hour distanceand crossing the Baltic sea.
