Artemis Technologies Announces Opening of U.S. Base in New York

Artemis Technologies, a leader in maritime innovation, has announced the opening of its first U.S. office following significant interest from across North America.

Known for its pioneering efforts to future-proof the planet's oceans and waterways, the company designs, engineers, and manufactures 100% electric, hydrofoiling vessels powered by the revolutionary Artemis eFoiler® system.

The U.S. market, with its vast coastline, major lakes, and significant maritime sector, will play a crucial role in the global effort to transition to a cleaner, more sustainable industry. The new office in Brooklyn Navy Yard, a hub of innovation and industrial activity, positions Artemis Technologies to better serve its U.S. customers and collaborate with local partners in accelerating the adoption of green technologies.

"Opening our office in Brooklyn Navy Yard is a pivotal moment for Artemis Technologies," said David Tyler, Co-Founder of Artemis Technologies. "The maritime industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards more sustainable operations, and we are excited to contribute our expertise and innovative solutions to this cause. Our new location will enable us to forge stronger relationships with key stakeholders and play a vital role in the decarbonization journey of the U.S. maritime sector."

Tyler emphasized the urgency and opportunity for transformation.

“According to the National Census of Ferry Operators (NCFO), nearly 620 ferries serve as vital transportation links in the U.S., yet many of these vessels operate with inefficient diesel engines. Their routes also take them through densely populated and often marginalized communities, emitting harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide, posing significant health risks to residents and workers.”

He continued, "Ferry operators are increasingly recognizing that they must adopt electric power to reduce emissions and modernize their fleets. For example, in San Francisco, the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) has secured upwards of $117 million in funding from local, state, and federal sources to electrify its ferry fleet and develop charging infrastructure. That’s where Artemis Technologies can come in. We have the tried, tested, and proven solutions to make this transition a commercial success—we can install infrastructure, and deliver Jones Act compliant vessels which produce zero emissions in operation, and are ultimately cheaper to run.”

The company's new office will serve as a central hub for its North American operations, and recruitment for multiple U.S. based roles is already underway.

Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Artemis is at the forefront of the maritime industry’s push towards decarbonization. Their revolutionary Artemis eFoiler® electric propulsion system, featuring a high-voltage battery energy storage system and ultra-high power density electric drivetrain, sets a new standard in maritime transport. With the newly established office in New York, Artemis is now primed to enter serial production in the U.S. (in compliance with the Jones Act) to meet the rising demand for CO2 reduction and electrification solutions across the transport sector.

Founded in 2017 by Dr. Iain Percy OBE, a double Olympic gold medallist and America’s Cup veteran, Artemis Technologies emerged as a spin-off from the successful America’s Cup professional sailing team, Artemis Racing. Recognizing the urgent need to decarbonize high-speed maritime transport, ATL assembled a team of industry-leading experts to integrate proven technologies from yacht racing, motorsport, and aerospace. This collaborative effort led to the development of the patented Artemis eFoiler® technology, a 100% electric, hydrofoiling system that dramatically reduces drag and enhances energy efficiency. Inspired by Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and protector of the natural world, ATL embodies precision, strength, and a deep connection to environmental sustainability. The Artemis emblem serves as a constant reminder of ATL's commitment to decarbonizing the maritime industry. Each innovation harmonizes cutting-edge technology with ecological responsibility, aiming to create a world where transportation and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.

Producing zero emissions in operation, Artemis eFoiler® vessels are designed to better protect our environment. The revolutionary system design of the Artemis eFoiler® includes a high-voltage marinised 800v battery energy storage system and ultra-high power density electric drivetrain, supporting growing industry demand to cut  CO2 emissions and adopt electrification solutions within maritime transport. 

The Artemis eFoiler® works at an unmatched efficiency of more than twice that of traditional Diesel engines. The design of the eFoiler® provides significant range at high-speed, whilst also reducing operational costs through substantial fuel savings. Vessels developed with eFoiler® propulsion can operate with up to 90% lower fuel costs compared with traditional ferries, with the capability of carrying up to 150 passengers.

The autopilot flight control system is a critical feature of the Artemis eFoiler® system. It is responsible for maintaining safe operation and actively stabilises our vessels in both foiling and displacement modes.

Developed on Artemis’ full motion platform simulator, the flight control system has been used extensively to develop the performance of autopilot in a variety of conditions. In foiling mode, it autonomously controls the ride height, roll and pitch of the craft, enabling the pilot to focus on heading and speed during operation.

Foiling above the water removes the usual bumpy ride and associated sea sickness. Performance of the Artemis eFoiler® technology and the 100% electric vessel has been validated during sea trials against its gasoline displacement sistership, recording 6x fewer vibrations on the body to ensure optimal protection for crew and passengers.

The minimal wake of the Artemis eFoiler® system ensures vessels can avoid local speed restrictions. This allows for high-speed operations close to shore, making Artemis eFoiler® vessels an ideal solution for traditionally busy waterways in ports and cities. The reduced wake produced by Artemis vessels helps protect our shorelines, wildlife and anchored vessels.
