"In late 2024, commuters in Stockholm gained a novel way to cross the Swedish
capital: a ‘flying’ electric ferry.
Just over a year later and the project has been declared a resounding success
by the Swedish Transport Administration following an evaluation of its pilot
route.
Built across 14 islands, Stockholm is naturally suited to waterborne transport.
Yet relatively slow journeys and infrequent departures lead many to navigate
via the city’s more than 50 bridges instead.
Still, diesel-run ferries account for nearly half of the region's total public
transport emissions.
The introduction of the hydrofoiling Candela P-12 Shuttle – described by its
manufacturer as the world’s fastest electric passenger vessel in service – aims
to change all that."
