Norwest Ship Management recently had the pleasure of transporting the electric hydrofoil ferry Candela P-12 on board our vessel Link Sun.

Candela P-12 represents a new generation of high-speed, zero-emission passenger vessels — combining advanced electric propulsion with hydrofoil technology to radically reduce energy consumption and wake.

A big thank you to everyone involved in ensuring a safe and efficient transport operation.



💡 Did you know?

• Candela P-12 “flies” above the water on computer-controlled hydrofoils, reducing water resistance by up to 80%
• It is considered the world’s fastest electric passenger ferry
• The vessel produces almost no wake, helping protect sensitive shorelines and port areas
