Candela flying #ferries to bring #commuters back #boats

Over 17kts she lifts above the water & then we fly at around 25kts

The 30-seat vessel rises smoothly above the surface, lifted by #hydrofoils controlled by onboard #computers

“When we lift the #boat, the drag from the water reduces 80 to 85 percent,” says the captain. “And we can charge this boat fully in approximately one hour.”

How Candela’s flying ferries could bring commuters back to the water

“Welcome on board the first prototype of the ferry P12. We put it into water almost three years ago. We have built a lot of boats since.” #MadeInEurope

New Taiwan-Japan ferry service debuts on ship that has war evacuation role

The Yaima Maru is among vessels to be used to evacuate residents on southern Japanese islands to mainland Japan in times of crisis.

@thecommongreen #ScotWind has been one of the major scandals of the last decade, far worse than the #ferries which the media have made so much fuss about; but no one had been made to carry responsibility for it. This looks similar, if not on the same scale.

There is clear malfeasance here. Someone is not acting in the public interest, who should be doing so. Whether it's bankers or ministers, someone needs to be made to answer for it.
