World’s First Flying Electric Ferry Returns

Candela P-12 is the world’s first passenger ferry that combines electric propulsion with hydrofoil technology, allowing it to literally fly above the water surface – with lower energy consumption and higher speeds. The first unit, named Nova, has operated in Stockholm’s public transport system during the autumn.

The service resumes on April 15 with Nova emitting 95% less CO₂ compared to the conventional diesel-powered vessels and using 84% less energy per passenger-kilometer.

The Candela P-12 has a cruising speed of 25 knots and is the fastest electric ship in the world with customers around the world, from Saudi Arabia to New Zealand and the USA.
