"...the P-12 uses a hydrofoil to lift the boat above the water’s surface, reducing drag and the amount of energy needed to operate it. 'The hydrofoil system cuts energy consumption by 80% compared to fossil fuel-powered vessels'... 2022 study by Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology found that the P-12 emits 97.5% less carbon dioxide emissions than diesel ferries...eight vessels are being built for NEOM, Saudi Arabia's $1.5 trillion 'megacity project' for the ultrarich, with a 2025 delivery date."
