Artemis Technologies and Red Funnel Partner to Introduce Zero-Emission Ferry

Artemis Technologies has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Red Funnel to introduce the Artemis EF-24 Passenger ferry to the Southampton to West Cowes route in late 2025. This collaboration is set to significantly reduce emissions and enhance passenger experience on the popular route.

According to Artemis Technologies, the operation of the Artemis EF-24 Passenger will save up to 3,700 tonnes of CO2e annually. If powered by electricity from renewable sources, annual emissions savings could increase to approximately 4,150 tonnes of CO2e. Besides its environmental benefits, the fully accessible ferry will employ cutting-edge hydrofoil propulsion technology, allowing it to “fly” over waves. This reduces drag and provides a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable journey for passengers.
 

Red Funnel states that the Artemis EF-24 Passenger, which is expected to be ready for service by late 2025, will be a valuable addition to their fleet, reflecting their commitment to innovation and sustainability in maritime transport.
