The all-electric Artemis EF-12 Patrol provides a significant advance in sustainable maritime technology. With an impressive top speed of 30kts and a foiling range of 55nm, the EF-12 Patrol is equipped to revolutionise coastal security. An optional diesel hybrid range extender can extend its foiling range to an exceptional 425nm, ensuring prolonged operational capability without compromise.
For those seeking enhanced capabilities, the Artemis EF-20H Patrol has a top speed of 40kts and foiling range of 420nm. Equipped with retractable foils and a diesel hybrid range extender as standard, its seamless transition between diesel and electric modes empowers silent and emissions-free patrolling in ecologically sensitive areas or where tactical situation dictates.
The innovative eFoiler propulsion system minimises wake disturbances, mitigating impact on shorelines and fellow maritime users. The autopilot flight control system ensures stability, granting crew members a comfortable journey with reduced susceptibility to seasickness.
These adaptable platforms can be used for various operations, from surveillance and patrol, search and rescue, security and counterterrorism, environmental protection and interagency cooperation. Enhanced stability equips eFoiler Patrol vessels to execute precise manoeuvres, ensuring accurate targeting and swift responses to potential threats.
Beyond operational excellence, Artemis eFoiler vessels present a critical avenue for governments to fulfil their decarbonisation goals. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies, these vessels substantially curtail greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing to the broader reduction of the sector's environmental impact.
Artemis Technologies is showcasing its revolutionary eFoiler technology this week during DSEI 2023, through on-water demonstrations along the Thames, so interested parties can experience the advanced maritime security solution first hand onboard Pioneer.
