Features of Hydroglyder
Active Foiling Control
The hydrofoil technology lifts the hull above water to drastically reduce water resistance and increase energy efficiency per nautical mile travelled compared to other conventional vessels. This technology helps the vessel glide above water to provide unparalleled ride comfort.
Energy Efficient
From minimizing power loses in the electrical system design and component selection to having a lightweight composite hull, the Hydroglyder is engineered to be the most energy-efficient vessel possible.
Situational Awareness
With advanced sensors and navigation systems, Hydroglyder features situational awareness and decision-making capabilities, making it a safe and reliable vessel for crew transfer operations.
Auto Docking & Autonomous Systems
The auto docking feature enables the vessel to position itself along the berth for crew change and charging operation.
3D Printed Passenger Seats
The passenger seats are custom 3D printed to ensure the lightest possible marine-grade seats. As a result, the seats only weigh a few kilograms. They are easy to clean and ergonomically designed for comfort.
