History

Iain Percy, an Olympic sailor and former Artemis Racing skipper, is the CEO of Artemis Technologies.^[3] In 2020, Artemis Technologies led the formation of the Belfast Maritime Consortium, a group of 13 partners that successfully secured £33 million from the UK Research and Innovation's Strength in Places Fund. This funding aims to develop zero-emission ferries in Belfast, with the total project investment expected to reach £60 million.^[4]

In 2024, Artemis Technologies plans to launch the first zero-emission hydrofoiling passenger ferry, named Zero, to operate between Belfast and Bangor. The EF-24 Passenger vessel is expected to carry 150 passengers and reduce fuel costs by 85% compared to traditional diesel-powered ferries.^[5]
