Brabo, a leading provider of pilot and port services in Antwerp, Belgium, is set to enhance its fleet with the addition of an Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat, a groundbreaking all-electric foiling vessel. This strategic collaboration with Artemis Technologies is scheduled to see the boat delivered in late summer 2025. The introduction of this innovative vessel represents a significant step forward for the port of Antwerp, aligning with global climate objectives and championing sustainable maritime operations. Designed with valuable input from experienced pilotage operators worldwide, the Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat is engineered to meet stringent safety and performance benchmarks, including compliance with ES-TRIN (European Standard laying down Technical Requirements for Inland Navigation Vessels) regulations. Operating entirely on electricity, the Artemis EF-12 Pilot boasts zero operational emissions, promising a reduction in operational costs of up to 80%. Its sophisticated active flight control system guarantees exceptional maneuverability and stability, ensuring the utmost safety and comfort for pilots and crew during transfers, even in adverse weather. Furthermore, the vessel's Artemis eFoiler® electric propulsion system is designed to minimize wake, enabling high-speed transit in areas previously subject to speed restrictions. This not only boosts pilot hour efficiency but also significantly curtails environmental impact.
