What if you could skip rush hour traffic and instead fly above the waves? Next week, Washingtonians will have the chance to experience the world’s first flying electric vessel as it takes to the Potomac River — demonstrating how the capital’s waterways could unlock faster, cleaner, and quieter commuting with flying ferries.
กรุงเทพฯ / สตอกโฮล์ม, 2 ตุลาคม 2568 – ในพิธีที่จัดขึ้น ณ กรุงเทพมหานคร ผู้ผลิตเรือไฟฟ้าจากประเทศสวีเดน Candela และผู้ให้บริการขนส่งของไทย Seudamgo ภายใต้บริษัท เลียวพารด์ ทรานสปอรเทชั่น จำกัด ได้ลงนามในข้อตกลงสำหรับเรือเฟอร์รี่ไฮโดรฟอยล์ไฟฟ้า Candela P-12 จำนวน 10 ลำ ซึ่งจะให้บริการในเส้นทางระหว่างแผ่นดินใหญ่และเกาะกูด จังหวัดตราด ในระยะแรก
Swedish electric hydrofoil boat maker Candela and Thai operator Seudamgo by Leopard Transportation Co., Ltd. entered an agreement for 10 Candela P-12 electric hydrofoil ferries to initially operate on the route between the mainland and Koh Kood in Trat province. This marks the largest electric hydrofoil vessel deployment in South East Asia.
Cutting both travel times and costs, a new type of flying electric ferry could make commuting along the coast greener, faster, and far more pleasant. For passengers, perhaps the greatest perk of Candela’s hydrofoiling vessel is this: you won’t get seasick on board. Press demos will be held in conjunction with Newport Boat Show.
The world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry, Candela P-12, will operate a pilot commuter line between Gothenburg and Öckerö for two weeks in collaboration with Västtrafik. The aim is to show how the archipelago can benefit from faster, more comfortable, and completely emission-free travel.
Världens första elektriska bärplansfartyg, Candela P-12, ska under två veckor trafikera en pilotlinje mellan Göteborg och Öckerö i samarbete med Västtrafik. Målet är att visa hur skärgården kan få snabbare, bekvämare och helt emissionsfria resor.
FlyTahoe's proposed foiling electric ferry has been highlighted as a key environmental improvement project in the Lake Tahoe Regional Transportation Plan. The proposed ferry, which will be operated by FlyTahoe, offers a potential solution to cut traffic, lower emissions, and protect the lake.
Lake Tahoe is poised to welcome America's first electric flying ferry, providing a faster, cleaner transit alternative to the daily traffic congestion around the lake. From July 31 to August 6, Candela, the pioneers behind the P-12 electric flying ferries, in collaboration with FlyTahoe, will showcase the revolutionary Candela C-8 leisure craft on Lake Tahoe.,
Mumbai’s commuters will soon be able to fly to work — on electric ships. A fleet of 11 hydrofoiling Candela P-12 commuter ferries will create new links across Mumbai Bay, forming the nucleus of the city’s electric public transport network, which is set to eventually include thousands of vessels. The ferries have been ordered by Mumbai-based operator JalVimana.
Safety standards are typically designed with traditional ships in mind—not carbon fiber, computer-controlled electric vessels that fly above the water. That’s why Candela and DNV had to innovate to ensure the world’s first foiling electric ferry could hit the water while meeting the rigorous standards that ensure maritime safety.

Maritime history was made by a Swedish crew that successfully crossed from Europe to Africa in a foiling electric Candela C-8 boat—marking the first intercontinental journey by an electric vessel. The record-setting voyage was carried out to demonstrate the viability of long-range electric hydrofoiling ferries.
