David Tyler of Belfast Harbour based Artemis Technologies, will present the 'Artemis eFoiler®: Decarbonising Maritime Transport' at the Europort 2023 Maritime Exhibition held in the major Dutch port of Rotterdam.

At the Europort’s Green Stage (Hall 4) is where David on Wednesday (8 Nov.) at 1100hrs will be at the walk-in-theatre to discuss the revolutionary Artemis eFoiler® as Afloat previously reported the 11.5 metre electric foiling vessel named “Pioneer of Belfast” . The prototype can fly over the water, using significantly less energy than a conventional workboat with high-speed re-charging technology also developed.

Artemis Technologies which launched the Artemis eFoiler® in 2022 with its 100% electric, high-speed foiling workboat prototype on Belfast Lough, aims to one step closer to providing high-speed zero-emission maritime transport to the masses. To register for this particular presentation, register here for Europort 2023.

Other exhibitors and partners during Europort 2023 (3-7 November) will also be giving short presentations and share their insights in the field of green shipping.

Europort is organized in the world port city of Rotterdam, where the international maritime exhibition is a meeting place for innovative technology and complex shipbuilding.

With an average of 25,000 professional visitors and 1,000 exhibiting companies Europort belongs to the world’s largest maritime meeting & knowledge sharing B2B platforms.

The seas, channels and river are deeply rooted in The Netherlands’ DNA and so the Dutch are globally renowned for challenging these waters and for their maritime expertise on extraordinary projects.

While the exhibition will span every aspect of the maritime world, it is therefore only natural that Europort has a strong focus on high-tech ships. These nine categories of special-purpose vessels will be particularly prominent at Europort.
