Serving EMEA with electric maritime transport innovation
CEO , Dr Iain Percy OBE , explains how Artemis Technologies ’ zero-emission vessels unlock the potential of EMEA ’ s waterways to offer an elevated experience .
In the rapidly evolving world of sustainable maritime transportation , Artemis Technologies brings a modern form of innovation , enabling greater efficiency and a commercially-viable range . Led by CEO , Dr Iain Percy OBE , an Olympic gold medallist turned tech visionary , the company is redefining how we think about maritime travel and its impact on the environment .
Founded six years ago , Artemis Technologies emerged from Percy ’ s competitive sailing days in the America ’ s Cup . The company ’ s unique approach combines his experience with technical prowess and a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability . “ Artemis Technologies produce 100 % electric foiling vessels that have , for the first time ever in the world , a viable range for commercial operations ,” Percy says , as he emphasises the importance of developing products that are both environmentally friendly and economically viable .
One of Artemis Technologies ’ most significant achievements is its patented Artemis eFoiler ® system . This cutting-edge technology powers its range of 100 % electric , hydrofoiling boats which includes a 150 passenger ferry and a luxury water taxi . These vessels advance maritime technology , offering both economic and sustainability advantages to users and partners in the Middle East and across the globe .
In addition to producing zero emissions in operation , these green vessels offer further environmental and experiential benefits . “ Wake is so damaging to our shoreline ,” Percy continues , “ By flying above the water , we are leaving just a thin line through the water ”.
A partner of choice for organisations such as Red Sea Global ( RSG ), Artemis Technologies offers them the opportunity to perform their operations with zero emissions , helping them to fulfil their sustainability ambitions . Percy describes this partnership as a synergy of visions , where luxury meets sustainability .
