This, says Candela, is the longest voyage thus far performed by an electric passenger vessel.<\/p>\n<p>The P-12 is the world\u2019s first serial-production electric hydrofoil ferry. Beneath its hull, computer-controlled submerged wings lift the vessel above the water at speeds exceeding 20 knots, reducing energy consumption by around 80% compared to conventional vessels and enabling long-distance travel at high speed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The world\u2019s longest electric ship journey | 160 nautical miles, 100% electric\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X6Ca26lar18?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Already proven in Stockholm\u2019s public transport system, Candela P-12 holds the record as the f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsdesk.com\/candela-speedboat-ab\/pressreleases\/verdens-raskeste-elektriske-hurtigbaat-klar-for-norge-3356787\">astest electric passenger vessel in operation,<\/a> with a service speed of 25 knots, and has exceeded 30 knots during trials, with a range of up to 40 nautical miles at cruising speed on a single charge.<\/p>\n<p>Several electric high-speed ferries are already in service in Oslo. However, says contrast between these conventional electric vessels and Candela P-12 is striking. Oslo\u2019s fastest electric passenger ferry, the 250-passenger <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.norled.no\/en\/nyhet\/speedboats-in-oslo-are-being-upgraded-and-made-more-environmentally-friendly\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Baronen,<\/a><\/em> operates a fixed 10-nautical-mile route and recharges by swapping a deck-mounted battery container with several megawatt-hours of capacity at the end of each trip.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, says Candela, \u201cthe P-12\u2019s efficiency allows it to charge from standard, easily deployable automotive DC fast chargers. During the journey to Oslo, the vessel charged using a portable 360 kW <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skagerakmobilenergi.no\/produkter-og-tjenester\/ladehenger-artikkel\">Skagerak Energi Move<\/a> DC charger connected to a mobile battery system, towed behind a Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharging infrastructure is the hidden cost of electrifying conventional vessels,\u201d said Gabriele De Mattia, project engineer at Candela and lead engineer for the record-setting voyage. \u201cIn many cases, building megawatt-scale chargers\u2014especially where the grid is weak or undeveloped\u2014can cost as much as the vessels themselves. The breakthrough with P-12 is that it is fast to charge and extremely flexible in where it can operate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 160-nautical-mile journey was completed over three days, with demonstration and charging stops along the route. The Candela crew charged along Sweden\u2019s existing DC fast-charging network using Aqua SuperPower stations, and where fixed chargers were unavailable, relied on the towable battery system provided by Skagerak Energi.<\/p>\n<p>On arrival in Oslo, the P-12 and its crew were welcomed by officials and media. Norway\u2019s ambition to electrify its waterways has faced growing headwinds as costs for both vessels and infrastructure have escalated, with battery-swapping systems alone accumulating expenses in the hundreds of millions, according to Candela.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Candela P-12,\u201d says the company, \u201cobservers were presented with a clear comparison: the total electricity cost for the world\u2019s longest electric sea journey amounted to just over \u20ac200.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/passenger\/ferries\/video-candela-p-12-e-foiler-completes-worlds-longest-electric-sea-journey\/\">VIDEO: Candela P-12 e-foiler completes world\u2019s longest electric sea journey<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/passenger\/ferries\/video-candela-p-12-e-foiler-completes-worlds-longest-electric-sea-journey\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=video-candela-p-12-e-foiler-completes-worlds-longest-electric-sea-journey\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIDEO: Candela P-12 e-foiler completes world\u2019s longest electric sea journey Swedish foiling ferry innovator Candela AB reports that a Candela P-12 has completed a 160-nautical-mile journey from Gothenburg, Sweden, to Oslo, Norway.
