Setting a new standard

The Artemis EF-12 CTV has been developed to allow offshore engineers to get to their destination and deliver their services in a comfortable, safe, and efficient manner.

The vessel’s advanced stabilisation and propulsion systems contribute to a smooth and stable ride, minimising discomfort and enhancing overall well-being during transit.

With a cruising speed of 25 kt, the Artemis EF-12 CTV provides high-speed journeys, whether originating from shore or SOV, reducing unnecessary and unproductive transfer time.

Safety, stability, speed and power combine for market-leading performance, whilst eliminating CO2e in operation.

Key features

Enhanced crew comfort

The revolutionary eFoiler® technology provides crew and passengers (such as offshore wind farm technicians), with unrivalled comfort. Significantly lower wave impact and noise in both high-speed foiling and slow-speed displacement modes combine for a significantly enhanced experience compared to traditional CTV designs.

High-performance

Dual Artemis eFoiler® propulsion means swift transfer times and provides power and control during the key transfer manoeuvres of crew and cargo.

Adaptable configuration

Through a close design partnership with leading offshore wind energy companies and CTV charter operators, the EF-12 CTV is able to offer configuration options to suit a wide range of user and operator requirements

“What we found so exciting about the Artemis eFoiler® solution is the reduction in drag when the system lifts the vessel out of the water. This provides speed, comfort range, minimal wake and a 70% reduction in energy costs.

“The eFoiler system looks set to be a game changer for our industry as we seek to decarbonise our fleet.”

– Leo Hambro, Commercial Director, Tidal Transit

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Artemis EF-12 CTV take to charge?

We offer a range of charging options, including ultra-fast charging capability, in which a full charge can be achieved in an hour, allowing for seamless and uninterrupted operations.

How much does the Artemis EF-12 CTV cost?

How does the Artemis EF-12 CTV perform in rough weather?

Performance of the Artemis eFoiler® technology has been validated during sea trials in the Irish Sea against its gasoline displacement sistership. Energy efficiency, ride comfort and wake creation of the two vessels has been recorded whilst operating across a wide range of weather conditions.

We are working with DNV towards class approval where we've engineered the Artemis EF-12 CTV to be approved for operation in 2.5m significant wave height while foiling and 4m in displacement mode.

How will it navigate submerged debris?

We’re developing a unique high-speed collision avoidance system in partnership with ECIT, part of Queen’s University Belfast. The system will ensure the safety of operations by safely diverting the vessel away from sea life, wildlife, debris and other in-water objects that might otherwise be obscured from view.

Does a pilot require additional training to drive the Artemis EF-12 CTV?

While we advise all pilots to familiarise themselves with new vessels, our vessels are easy to operate thanks to intuitive flight control and collision avoidance systems, ensuring precise slow speed manoeuvring and full control on the open water.

Our autopilot flight control system autonomously controls the ride height, roll and pitch of the craft, enabling the pilot to focus on heading and speed during operation.
