Artemis Technologies has entered an agreement with Noatum Maritime, part of AD Ports Group’s Maritime & Shipping Cluster, to supply a 100% electric Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat for operations in the United Arab Emirates, according to the company's release.
The vessel aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 target, utilizing battery technology to provide zero-emission propulsion for port operations.
The Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat has a top speed of 30 knots and a cruising speed of 25 knots. It incorporates Artemis Technologies’ eFoiler® technology, which uses hydrofoils to lift the hull above the water, reducing drag, optimizing energy usage, minimizing wake, and improving crew comfort.
