P-12 Shuttle
Electric Hydrofoil Ferry
From Bangkok to Stockholm, traffic congestion is causing delays, pollution, and economic inefficiencies in major cities worldwide. At the same time, our waterways remain largely untapped for fast transport due to wake creation, pollution, and the
high running costs of conventional vessels. With a speed of 25 knots mph, silent operation, no wake, and a far lower cost per passenger mile than traditional diesel ferries, Candela P-12 is unlocking the full potential of our waterways.

Questions?
Here are the top 5.
How many passengers can the P-12 Shuttle take?
The P-12 Shuttle has 30 seats + 1 captain. Also, there is room for bikes and wheelchair seating. The maximum payload is 3 000kg
What certifications and approvals will the P-12 Shuttle comply with?
The P-12 Shuttle will have a Type approval- DNV Craft with passenger and battery notation. For local standards and certifications please contact Candela to discuss further.
How does the P-12 Shuttle handle rough water?
The P-12 Shuttle handles rough water very well. Significant wave height HS 1 meter when foiling and HS 2 meters when not foiling. If the weather conditions are too rough, simply land, and the P-12 Shuttle works very well as a normal planing catamaran.
What happens if you hit something in the water?
The foils are made of carbon fiber which makes them extremely strong. Hitting smaller debris has little to no effect. Hitting bigger objects – a log or rock for example – will result in the foil breaking at a designated breaking point. The breaking point is positioned to maximize protection of the hull from impact.
What are the charging options of a Candela P-12 Shuttle?
• DC: 175 kW, charging time 10-85 % approximately 45 min
