Superior Technology
Surface Effect Ship (SES) Solution
A Surface-Effect Ship (SES) system uses a fan to compress air into a cavity, which creates an overpressure that lifts the boat partially out of the water. Our chosen solution provides this effect by the unique hull shape and a flexible flap system that keeps air inside the cavity.
Unprecedented Energy Efficiency Propulsion Systems
The main benefit of the SES solution is reduced total power consumption at planing speeds compared to traditional hulls. Compared to planing monohulls we see 30 50% less energy
consumption at planing speeds. Combined with a lightweight carbon fibre hull the boat can achieve greater range, while maintaining a comfortable and familiar experience on the water.
Propulsion Systems
Combining a SES solution with an electric drive train affords us great flexibility on propulsion systems. Our first model will utilize twin inboard electric motors, combined with dual prop Mercury Bravo III drives. This enables easy servicing from an already established and truly global marine service network.
Advanced Ride Control System
The ride control system automatically controls all functions related to the SES solution. This means that the captain does not have to operate any extra systems compared to a regular boat. The software connects the boat to our cloud system, allowing remote monitoring and over the air updates even after delivery. This enables a boat that improves over time.
User Facing Technology
The boat user can expect an intuitive and digitally enabled interface, connecting your boat to your phone (or even your watch) to keep you up to date with charging status, location and other relevant updates. Onboard you can expect the latest products from our growing
network of marine OEM partners.
