The world’s fastest electric ship will soon sail the archipelago around Stockholm in a bid to make public water transport more attractive.

The Candela P-12 Shuttle will start operating in the Swedish capital next year with its manufacturers claiming that the ship is not only the fastest of its kind at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour, but also the most efficient electric ship ever .

It is hoped that it will make public sea transport in the city more attractive than trains, buses and cars.

Stockholm 'Flying Boat'

The electric boat has three carbon fiber wings that extend from below the hull, allowing the boat to rise above the water, thus reducing traction and increasing speed and stability.

"Flying" across the water, the ship will transport passengers between Ekerö, a rapidly expanding neighborhood on the outskirts of Stockholm and the city center "faster than the metro and bus lines it competes with, as well as by car. during peak hours ", it is said in a statement of the company.

The Candela P-12 Shuttle covers the 15 km route in just 25 minutes, saving passengers about 50 minutes every day.

Due to its innovative design, the ship creates an "almost zero awakening" and has been given an exception from the 22 km / h speed limit in the Stockholm Region, which means that it can sail at full speed in the center of the city without causing damage from waves to other ships.

Thanks to its latest technology, the fastest electric ship in the world can compete for mileage costs and can enter new roads without massive investment in infrastructure as all it needs is a dock and electricity.

The Candela will begin a nine-month trial period in 2023 and if it meets the high expectations placed on it, the hope is to eventually replace the city fleet with over 70 oil vessels.
