The Port of Tyne has invested in the UK’s first fully electric foiling pilot vessel, designed by Artemis Technologies. This milestone acquisition will improve safety and efficiency in transferring pilots to ships in northeast England. Scheduled for delivery this year, the vessel’s zero emissions align with the Port’s goal of a net-zero pilotage service.
