Red Funnel Ferries and Artemis Technologies have advanced their partnership to deliver the UK’s first zero-emission, high-speed passenger ferry. The Artemis EF-24 Passenger ferry, set to operate between Southampton and West Cowes by late 2025, will utilize electric hydrofoil technology to “fly” above the water, reducing drag and enhancing passenger comfort. This innovative vessel is projected to cut up to 3,700 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, with potential savings increasing to approximately 4,150 tonnes when powered by renewable energy sources. This collaboration signifies a significant step towards sustainable maritime transport in the region.
