Artemis Technologies stands at the forefront of maritime innovation, spearheading the industry's transformation toward sustainable, zero-emission transportation. As a world-leading high-performance maritime design and applied technologies company, Artemis is reshaping how we think about marine propulsion through cutting-edge electric foiling vessels and advanced simulation technology.
The Artemis eFoiler® Revolution
At the heart of Artemis Technologies' mission lies the revolutionary Artemis eFoiler® electric propulsion system – a patented technology that represents a paradigm shift in maritime transport. This transformative system achieves complete zero emissions during operation while delivering unprecedented efficiency, operating at more than twice the efficiency of traditional diesel engines.
The eFoiler® incorporates a sophisticated high-voltage 800v marinized battery energy storage system paired with an ultra-high power density electric drivetrain. This innovative design enables vessels to carry up to 150 passengers while reducing operational costs by up to 90% compared to conventional ferries, making clean maritime transport both environmentally responsible and economically viable.
Advanced Flight Control and Comfort
The system's autonomous flight control represents a breakthrough in marine technology. Developed using Artemis's world-class full motion platform simulator, the autopilot system maintains safe operation while actively stabilizing vessels in both foiling and displacement modes. In foiling mode, it autonomously manages ride height, roll, and pitch, allowing pilots to focus solely on navigation.
The foiling technology eliminates the traditional bumpy ride associated with conventional vessels, reducing vibrations by up to six times compared to gasoline-powered craft. This dramatic improvement ensures optimal comfort and protection for both crew and passengers while virtually eliminating seasickness.
Environmental Impact and Industry Leadership
Beyond passenger comfort, the Artemis eFoiler® produces minimal wake, enabling high-speed operations near shorelines without triggering local speed restrictions. This reduced wake helps protect coastlines, marine wildlife, and anchored vessels – demonstrating how technological advancement can harmonize with environmental stewardship.
As CEO Dr. Iain Percy OBE emphasizes, "With every innovation, we strive to harmonise cutting-edge technology with environmental responsibility, building towards a world where innovative transportation and ecological stewardship go hand in hand."
Expanding Global Reach: Vancouver Waters
Artemis Technologies' impact extends beyond European waters, with recent demonstrations in Vancouver highlighting the technology's global potential. British Consul-General Thomas Codrington recently witnessed the eFoiler® technology firsthand, noting how the vessels "lift up on underwater wings to deliver a smooth, quiet and energy-efficient sailing, saving considerable amounts of fuel, time and money compared to diesel or non-foiling electric vessels."
The Vancouver trials represent a significant milestone, with plans to deploy 150-passenger ferries on commercially-run routes connecting Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast to downtown Vancouver. As Codrington emphasized, this represents "a great example of UK innovation that will bring green jobs and investment to both BC and the UK, as well as increasing connectivity across the Vancouver area."
Through partnerships like Operation Zero – a coalition of 28 industry leaders working to decarbonize North Sea offshore wind operations by 2025 – and now expanding into Canadian waters, Artemis Technologies is actively contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts while supporting multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals. Their work represents the future of maritime transport: clean, efficient, and sustainable.
