Noatum to acquire fully electric Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat
Noatum Maritime, a division of AD Ports Group's Maritime & Shipping Cluster, has reached an agreement with Artemis Technologies to acquire a fully electric Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat to support sustainable port operations in the UAE. This initiative aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the UAE's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The Artemis EF-12 is designed with advanced battery technology that enables zero-emission propulsion, making it suitable for sustainable operations. The vessel can reach speeds of up to 30kt and maintain a cruising speed of 25kt. It is designed to carry up to four passengers and has a foiling range of 47nm. The incorporation of Artemis' eFoiler technology allows the boat to lift its hull above the water, which reduces drag and optimises energy consumption while producing minimal wake. Artemis Technologies CEO Dr Iain Percy said: 'We are proud to support Noatum Maritime in their continued efforts to bring sustainable maritime solutions to the Middle East. 'The acquisition of the Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat marks a significant milestone in addressing the region's growing demand for high-performance, zero operational emission vessels.' Artemis tested and validated the Artemis EF-12 Pilot simulations using the Artemis EF-12 Workboat, with assistance from the Port of Cork and Cork Pilots in Cork Harbour. The company completed 15 ship contacts with four vessel types, ranging from 90m to 158m. This testing is essential for optimising the Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat for safe pilot operations, according to the company. In February this year, Red Funnel and Artemis entered the construction and delivery phase for their next-generation electric ferry for Isle of Wight services, following the finalisation of initial agreements in July 2024.

Noatum Maritime acquires 100% electric tug, pilot boats
ABU DHABI - Noatum Maritime, part of AD Ports Group's Maritime & Shipping Cluster, has reinforced its commitment to sustainable maritime operations with two major investments; the acquisition of the GCC's first all-electric hydro-foiling pilot boat, and the purchase of two fully electric tug boats. These zero-emissions vessels form a key pillar of Noatum Maritime's broader decarbonisation strategy and deliver immediate benefits for customers, including operational efficiency, reduced emissions and potential contributions to carbon credit programmes. The region's first 100 percent electric Artemis EF-12 Pilot boat marks a significant advancement in energy-efficient pilotage. Powered by Artemis Technologies' cutting-edge eFoiler technology, this 12-metre vessel lifts the hull above the water's surface, significantly reducing drag and cutting energy consumption by up to 85 percent while increasing speed and efficiency. This not only translates into substantial fuel and maintenance cost savings but also provides customers with a high performance, zero-emission alternative that aligns with global sustainability targets. Additionally, two Damen RSD-E tug 2513's will drive sustainable towage operations at Khalifa Port. Following the successful trial of the first unit – the most powerful electric tugboat, as recognised by Guinness World Records – Noatum Maritime has opted to permanently integrate the vessel into its fleet, alongside an additional unit entering service in April 2025. These 70-tonne bollard pull tugs feature rapid charging technology, capable of completing multiple assignments on a single charge with full recharging in just two hours. Their adoption is expected to contribute to lower port emissions while offering cost-effective high performance harbour assistance. Captain Ammar Mubarak Al Shaiba, CEO – Maritime & Shipping Cluster, AD Ports Group, said, 'By investing in zero-emission pilotage and harbour operations, Noatum Maritime is delivering a cleaner more efficient solution that reduces the environmental footprint of port operations, drives long term cost savings and also benefits our customers. By offering fully electric alternatives we are supporting our customers sustainability goals and potentially enabling them to leverage carbon credits. In pioneering these technologies, we are reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation and setting new benchmarks for the industry.' With the successful transition to electric, and ongoing investment in sustainable port infrastructure, Noatum Maritime is establishing itself as a pioneer in sustainable harbour operations and accelerating the transition to cleaner, more efficient maritime solutions. These initiatives align with global decarbonisation efforts while delivering cost-effective, high-performance alternatives to traditional operations. KN
