Stockholm-based Candela Expertise AB introduced on September sixth 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,” stated 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 attention-grabbing, since I’m truly touring to Stockholm on the eleventh of October to check out the P-12 myself!

I shall be again with my very own impressions of this extraordinary boating expertise, which truly has made a number of effectivity world information already, like furthest traveled 24-hour distance, and crossing the Baltic sea.
