Design plans for 100% electric ‘flying’ ferry unveiled

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.
