It is the first electric ferry to achieve a long range at high speeds, with no wake and minimal environmental impact, enabling public transport operators to bring substantial cost savings.

The collaboration between the two companies aims to:

Transform waterborne public transportation in Abu Dhabi by introducing Candela's electric hydrofoil boats for public transport use. This will offer a unique and sustainable transportation option.

Establish a robust sales and service network within Abu Dhabi to ensure seamless operation and customer support. This network will also provide comprehensive service, maintenance, and aftermarket support for Candela's public transport vessels in the emirate.

Explore further collaboration opportunities to develop and implement innovative and sustainable public waterborne transport solutions specifically tailored to Abu Dhabi's needs.

By introducing electric hydrofoil technology, Candela and Al Seer Marine are fostering a shift towards cleaner and more sustainable public transportation within the emirate.

“We are thrilled to partner with Al Seer Marine to bring our revolutionary electric foiling vessels to Abu Dhabi” said Erik Eklund, Director of Commercial Vessels at Candela. “Their dedication to innovation and sustainability in waterborne transportation perfectly aligns with our vision for a greener future.”
