David Tyler, co-founder of Artemis Technologies, described the company’s mission to decarbonize high-speed maritime transport, leveraging expertise from the Artemis Racing America’s Cup team. On episode 312 of The Green Insider, we discuss detailing their innovative e-foiler technology that significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions in passenger ferries.
On today’s episode, David Tyler details Artemis Technologies’ efforts to decarbonize high-speed maritime transport. Here’s a summary of today’s show:
- Artemis Technologies focuses on using hydrofoil technology to reduce fuel consumption in high-speed passenger ferries, making electric propulsion viable for short-haul routes.
- The company’s e-foiler technology reduces battery usage by 80%, allowing ferries to travel 4–5 times further with the same energy.
- The technology is cost-effective for high-mileage operations, with a projected 3-year payback period for busy routes such as Manhattan–Rockaway in New York.
- Artemis Technologies plans to scale up the technology for larger ferries and aims to reduce local emissions of pollutants like NOx and particulate matter.
- Their foil-assisted boats offer a smooth, quiet ride and are easier to operate than traditional vessels.
- For 2026, the company plans to deliver pilot vessels to ports in Antwerp, Abu Dhabi, and Sweden, and launch the first EF24 passenger ferry in Belfast.
