Vision Marine Technologies, a pioneer in electric marine propulsion, has announced its future collaboration with Armada Marine, a renowned manufacturer of high quality pontoon boats. This partnership will result in a new electric pontoon boat tailored for North America's regulated lakes, and will be unveiled at major boat shows in 2025. Towards a more sustainable boating industry! 👏 #SustainableYachting #Sustainability #MarineIndustry #MarinePropulsion

https://lnkd.in/d-hukaP7 Why invest in innovative marine technology? 1. Environmental benefits: Investing in innovative marine technology can help address environmental concerns such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. For example, technologies like sustainable aquaculture systems and advanced waste management systems can minimize the impact on marine ecosystems. 2. Economic opportunities: The marine technology sector offers significant economic opportunities. Investing in innovative technologies can lead to the development of new industries and generate jobs. This includes sectors such as offshore renewable energy, marine biotechnology, and autonomous underwater vehicles. 3. Energy diversification: With the world increasingly looking for alternatives to fossil fuels, investing in innovative marine technology can contribute to energy diversification. Technologies like offshore wind farms, tidal energy, and wave energy systems have the potential to provide clean and renewable energy sources. 4. National security: The oceans play a crucial role in national security, including defense, surveillance, and maritime transportation. Investing in technologies that enhance maritime security, such as autonomous systems for surveillance and underwater communication, can bolster national security capabilities. 5. Scientific research: Innovative marine technology can significantly enhance scientific research and exploration of the oceans. Technologies like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), submersibles, and oceanographic instruments enable scientists to study marine biodiversity, climate change impacts, and oceanographic phenomena. 6. Human well-being: Investing in marine technology can contribute to the well-being of coastal communities and enhance their resilience to climate change and natural disasters. Technologies like coastal management systems, early warning systems for tsunamis, and desalination plants can improve the quality of life and safety of coastal populations. Overall, investing in innovative marine improves the marine environment.#marinesustainability #arivoonline Arivo Fz LLC Arivo.online

An all-electric #hydrofoiling boat from #Swedish company Candela has set two new world records by travelling between #Stockholm and the Finnish autonomous region of Åland, marking the first time an #electricboat has crossed the #BalticSea. Candela, which has developed a range of electric hydrofoil boats and ships, wanted to demonstrate that “that zero-emission sea travel is not only possible today, but that foiling #electricships and boats are so much cheaper to operate than #fossilfuelled vessels.” The record-breaking journey was undertaken in the Candela C-8, a €330,000 ($A544,500) leisure craft, equipped with a battery from technology partner #Polestar. The journey covered 150 nautical miles from the port of Frihamn in Stockholm, #Sweden, to #Mariehamn, the capital and largest town of the Åland Islands, an autonomous region of #Finland, with a charging stop in Kapellskär. While charging along the trip was made mostly with existing charging infrastructure, a 40kW Kempower Movable Charger was needed in Kapellskär. Leaving from Frihamn at 6am, the Candela C-8 made it to Mariehamn by lunchtime, and returned to Frihamn the same day. “The disadvantage of electric boats has been their short range, due to traditional boat hulls consuming so much energy,” said Gustav Hasselskog, the company’s CEO and founder. “With our hydrofoil technology, we combine high speed and range, but you get so many other benefits. Flying over the Åland Sea in total silence and without slamming was absolutely magical.” A gasoline-powered chase boat of similar size accompanied the Candela C-8 on the journey and had to be refuelled for a cost of €750, or around $A1,230. For comparison, the Candela C-8 consumed 213 kWh of electricity, at a cost of about €40-50 (around $A66-83). “We actually had range anxiety, but not for the Candela,” said Gustav Hasselskog. “The irony is that the photographer’s gasoline-powered chase boat had to refuel six times during the trip, while we only charged three times. “We’re talking about 95% lower operating costs,” concluded Hasselskog. “This is a revolution that makes waterborne transöport competitive with land transport in terms of costs, which we will now demonstrate in #publictransport in Stockholm.”

What a terrific article from the Wall Street Journal that profiles the use of new technology developed in the America's Cup races and applied to commercial maritime vessels. The use of WAPS (wind assisted propulsion systems) and foils is making a real difference to lower the carbon footprint of the maritime shipping industry. The article also briefly profiles the use of electric foil boats to service off shore wind farms in the UK. I am optimistic for the future of our oceans and the global environment when you recognize how many companies are already in this sector, which continues to grow.
