The Orkney Islands in Scotland are set to trial electric hydrofoil ferries. The use of these ferries is part of a broader initiative to reduce carbon emissions.
These eco-friendly ferries are designed to glide above the water, thereby reducing drag and energy consumption. This design makes them a more sustainable alternative to traditional boats.
The ferries will be tested over a three-year period. The impact on the environment, cost-effectiveness, and passenger experience will be evaluated during this time. This project represents a step forward in the move towards greener mass transportation options.
