Brabo, a leading provider of pilot and port services in Antwerp, Belgium, has signed a deal with clean maritime technology company Artemis Technologies to bring an Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat into its fleet, reports seanews.
Delivery Schedule
Scheduled for delivery in late summer 2025, the introduction of the fully electric foiling vessel represents a forward-thinking shift for one of the world’s busiest ports, aligning with global efforts to tackle climate change and champion sustainable practices across the maritime industry.
The Artemis EF-12 Pilot is 100% electric. It produces zero operational emissions while slashing operational costs by up to 80%. An advanced active flight control system offers precise control, ensuring optimal stability and safety in displacement mode during pilot transfers, even in challenging conditions. This significantly enhances comfort for both pilots and crew.
Herman Van Driessche, CEO of Brabo Havenloodsen en Bootlieden BV stated, “We are very excited to include this vessel in our fleet. Since the first contact with Artemis Technologies, already two years ago, we were convinced that this technology could help us in our mission for sustainable, safe and comfortable waterborne transport. From the start, we were impressed by the quality product Artemis Technologies was developing with all its highly motivated staff. We have seen them grow over the past few years and the results we already experienced have supported our decision to purchase this vessel.”
