00:00We designed this boat with clear focus on safety and also it should be a fantastic experience for

00:05customers and guests approved for single crew operations and it's actually two boats in one

00:09right but when we have a fleet of smaller boats we get a completely different flexibility in the

00:14system. Shortest schedules, more frequent departures or their dimension to peak hours

00:20right so we've seen up to 90 percent reductions in the energy cost the electric drivetrain or pod

00:25motors only consists of two moving parts and the answer is really simple again it's all about

00:29the efficiency we want to make as little impact as possible. We don't need megawatt of charging

00:35power for this boat. Crucial with this kind of new technology that we're looking at here with the

00:39hydrofoiling passenger vessel. No I agree I've been able to do something like this that is so groundbreaking

00:44it's quite extraordinary I think. My name is Axel Brangenfelt, I'm business development executive

00:51at Candela working with our professional boats. My name is Nicklas Nudin, I am the chief product

00:56officer at Candela responsible for both our leisure crafts but also our professional ferries.

01:01So we had opportunity to design the Candela P12 from a blank sheet of paper and the main goal

01:07was to create the most efficient boat possible because if we get the most efficient boat possible the

01:13benefits will be immediate you will have the economic benefits. It should be environmentally sustainable and

01:18leave as little impact as possible and also it should be a fantastic experience for customers and guests

01:23that get the opportunity to go on these boats. Yeah we've got a lot of comments about the appearance

01:27of the boats it looks like a TIE fighter it looks futuristic it's it's quite short boat it's it's below 12

01:34meters of length which means that in most countries globally this boat will be approved for single

01:41crew operations and very easy to to maneuver and handle. And what also really makes it stand out from

01:46my first view is of course the hydrofoil system. Yeah and it's actually two boats in one right because

01:51with the slender catamaran hull it's a very very efficient boat up to eight knots when you go do

01:57slow operations and then as you said when we actually do the liftoff and high speeds we have even better

02:03efficiency. One of the big problems with with today's ferries is that they are over dimensioned

02:09or they're dimension to peak hours right so over during the day they're underutilized you only have

02:14like maybe 15 to 20 percent of passengers on board. So the issue with current vessels they're often too big

02:20for what actually needs to be done but when we have a fleet of smaller boats we get a completely

02:24different flexibility in the system and can use that in a way to have to have a capacity exactly

02:29where we need it. So you can have more frequent departures faster travels and then you can move the

02:34same amount of people to the same distance but with full seats instead of empty right shorter schedule

02:39shorter schedules more departures more frequent departures. So one of the massive benefits when we reach the level of

02:45efficiency as we do is of course the energy reduction. So we're looking at cases where we've seen up

02:50to 90 percent reductions in the energy costs which is massive and that's a huge cost for all operators

02:56and that one we reduce to yeah to a fraction.

03:02The P12 is designed with efficiency as we talked about earlier and that also comes

03:07with a low maintenance cost. The electric drivetrain or pod motors only consists of two moving parts

03:14and no oils etc so if you compare that to a traditional diesel engine the service cost is very very low and

03:21that goes for all the systems in the boats. We really worked on making it as maintenance-free as possible

03:26then of course nothing is maintenance-free in total but this is a true change or shift when it comes to marine traffic.

03:34Yeah definitely.

03:38Axel what about dock kites? Good so the dock kites is also something that's really crucial of course.

03:43We have a flexible ramp that can be adjusted depending on the dock kites to make sure that we can fit

03:49into the existing infrastructure and I also get a lot of a lot of questions about so why did you make a

03:55bow loading boat because in many countries they're more used to the side loading and the answer is really

03:59simple again it's all about the efficiency. So with a bow loading boat you can do the turnaround a lot faster

04:04so you can go into the dock and out in about two minutes from service speed to service speed.

04:09You go in open the ramp in and out with passengers and then back again instead of a side loading boat

04:14we have to go on the side which takes a lot longer time and then becomes more inefficient so again we

04:18have the efficiency point as well when it comes to that. It's also a small and nimble boat so we don't

04:25need to have these big concrete fundament stocks. We can put up floating pontoon we can use mostly in most cases

04:33whatever is already there so it doesn't have to be new investments into the infrastructure and if

04:39you need to have a new stop or if you need to dock at a certain spot then you can put in a floating

04:43pontoon. It's not a big cost to get that. The measurements of the boat fits within normal road

04:49regulations which means we can put it on a flatbed with normal truck, move it around so global shipping

04:55and logistics gets very easy. Yeah that's a really good point because it doesn't only look at the boat

05:00itself we're also looking at the biggest system point of view so how will this affect the current

05:05infrastructure we want to make as little impact as possible. We want to be able to use as much as

05:11we can with the existing infrastructure so you don't have to invest a lot of money and time into

05:16creating new infrastructure to get this boat on the water. Yeah and that also extends to the charging

05:20right we don't need megawatt of charging power for this boat it's it's we only have 264 kilowatt

05:26hours of battery in the boats so it's it's easy to find enough power on the shoreline also to be able

05:34to charge the boat in various locations. We designed this boat with clear focus on safety and compliance

05:43right we have we have had a long collaboration with DNV when it comes to the first initial sketch

05:49the concept design to really make sure that this boat follows the appropriate standards and it's it's

05:56very safe to operate with this and it's it's that's crucial with this kind of new technology that we're

06:00looking at here with the hydrofoiling passenger vessel. Yeah no i agree i mean being able to do

06:05something like this that is so groundbreaking but at the same time complies with all the traditional

06:11regulations it's quite extraordinary i think.

06:14Yeah. When it comes to the environmental impact of this boat we have zero emission

06:22since it's a full electric boat and also when we're driving both at low speeds with the Catarin hull but

06:27also especially when we're hydrofoiling the boat doesn't do any wake so no shore erosion or disturbing

06:35other boats or marine life which is a very very important aspect. And this also allows us to go

06:41uh faster sometimes to get speed exemptions because many times speed regulations are there because

06:47the boats create too much wake.

06:50There are two two things that any operation and business is looking for

06:54and very obviously very simply put anyone looks to maximize the efficiency and they want happy customers.

07:01It doesn't matter if you're a big public transport company looking to having a huge

07:06network of a fleet or if it's a smaller public operator or if you have resort transfers. You want happy customers.

07:13You want the efficiency in operation. And this is something that we have looked at from the very beginning.

07:18Yes and that's why several of our customers has only chosen the Candela P12 to extend their existing fleet of vessels.

07:24The order book is filling up quickly and we're ramping up production.

07:37There we go.

07:45Okay.

07:46I'm

07:52we go
