Sweden has taken a significant step in the electrification of water transport by putting into commercial operation the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry, the Candela P-12, which is currently operating in Stockholm.
This vessel is a breakthrough in both environmental sustainability and efficiency of waterborne public transport, setting a benchmark for future maritime innovations, says Elektrek.
The Candela P-12 stands out in the industry with several key advantages over traditional diesel ferries. In particular, the ferry operates with minimal noise and generates only minor waves thanks to hydrofoil technology. This design highlight is especially important in urban areas, where strict regulations often limit wave heights on certain routes.

In surface mode, the ferry can overcome waves up to one meter high, and in submerged hydrofoil mode – up to two meters, providing passengers with a smooth, stable ride even in difficult conditions.
