P-12 Shuttle
Electric Hydrofoil Ferry
From New York to Stockholm, traffic congestion is on the rise in large metropolitan areas across the world. Meanwhile, our waterways sit mostly unused for high-speed transports, due to wake generation, pollution and high mileage costs of traditional vessels.
With a destination-to-destination speed of 30 mph, silent flight, no wake and a cost per passenger mile that is only 10% of traditional diesel ferries’, the electric hydrofoiling Candela P-12 is unlocking the true potential of our waterways.

Questions?
Here are the top 5.
How many passengers can the P-12 Shuttle take?
The P-12 Shuttle has 30 seats + 1 captain. Also, there is room for bikes and wheelchair seating. The maximum payload is 3 000kg
What certifications and approvals will the P-12 Shuttle comply with?
The P-12 Shuttle will have a Type approval- DNV Craft with passenger and battery notation. For local standards and certifications please contact Candela to discuss further.
How does the P-12 Shuttle handle rough water?
The P-12 Shuttle handles rough water very well. Significant wave height HS 1 meter when foiling and HS 2 meters when not foiling. If the weather conditions are too rough, simply land, and the P-12 Shuttle works very well as a normal planing catamaran.
What happens if you hit something in the water?
The foils are made of carbon fiber which makes them extremely strong. Hitting smaller debris has little to no effect. Hitting bigger objects – a log or rock for example – will result in the foil breaking at a designated breaking point. The breaking point is positioned to maximize protection of the hull from impact.

• DC: 175 kW, charging time 10-85 % approximately 45 min
