Swedish Maritime Administration orders first Nordic fully electric pilot boat, Artemis EF-12, powered by hydrofoils, for operation by spring 2026.

The Swedish Maritime Administration has ordered the Artemis EF-12, the first fully electric pilot boat in Nordic waters, set to operate by spring 2026. Utilizing hydrofoil technology, the boat minimizes drag, enhances energy efficiency, and reduces wake impact on marine ecosystems. Its energy consumption is approximately 9 kWh per nautical mile, achieving an 85% reduction compared to diesel counterparts, supporting Sweden’s goal of net-zero maritime emissions by 2045.
