Decarbonising Pilot Boat Operations
Following demand from across the globe, Artemis Technologies has developed a dedicated Artemis eFoiler® pilot boat design that delivers market leading crew comfort and stability, whilst meeting the specific requirements unique to this challenging operation.
We have consulted with pilot boat operators from around the world, including our partner Belfast Harbour to ensure that this vessel can meet safety and performance requirements to the highest standard.

Comfortable Ride
Due to the electric fully submerged drivetrain, the Artemis eFoiler® provides a quiet experience. Flying over the waves on a high-speed foiling vessel removes the usual bumpy ride, and associated sea sickness.

Belfast Harbour
Analysis of the data collected during our research and testing in collaboration with Belfast Harbour, has indicated that the Artemis EF-12 Pilot will deliver significant cost savings over the expected lifespan of a vessel, prevent the release of CO2e, and reduce the relative motions between pilot vessel and ship during pilot transfer, when compared to the current pilot boats.

Digital Twin
Virtual trials of the performance of the Artemis EF-12 Pilot have been undertaken by pilot boat operators to validate the performance of the eFoiler® system in comparison to conventional pilot boats.
