Swedish marine technology company Candela has introduced its latest electric foiling vessel, the P-12 Voyager, designed to provide sustainable luxury transportation for both private and commercial clients.
Introduction of the P-12 Voyager
The P-12 Voyager, which was officially launched this week, is intended to offer an environmentally friendly alternative for luxury travel on water. The vessel utilizes hydrofoil technology, enabling it to glide above the water’s surface and reduce energy consumption compared to traditional boats.
Technical Features and Capabilities
Equipped with a fully electric propulsion system, the P-12 Voyager can reach speeds up to 30 knots. The hydrofoils lift the hull above the water, minimizing drag and resulting in a smoother and quieter ride. The vessel is capable of covering distances of up to 60 nautical miles on a single charge.
Market Applications
Candela has developed the P-12 Voyager to serve a variety of markets, including premium shuttle services, private charters, and eco-friendly tourism. The company states that the vessel’s design aims to meet the needs of operators seeking to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on performance or comfort.
Statements from Candela
Gustav Hasselskog, CEO of Candela, commented, “The P-12 Voyager marks a significant step forward in sustainable marine transportation. Our hydrofoil technology allows us to offer a vessel that is not only efficient and quiet but also provides a superior passenger experience.”
Environmental Benefits
The P-12 Voyager’s electric propulsion system eliminates direct emissions, contributing to cleaner waterways and reduced noise pollution. Candela highlights that the vessel’s energy-efficient design supports the transition toward more sustainable maritime operations.
