Presentation

Unlocking the potential of waterborne public transportation

This presentation is a case study of the P-12 Shuttle, which consumes about one-tenth the energy of a conventional ship, making it the most energy-efficient fast ship ever built. It can operate in urban waterways at higher speeds than traditional passenger boats because it creates virtually no wake. Higher service speeds will allow the shuttling of more passengers farther and faster than any other electric ship, thereby offering a cost-effective, holistic solution that allows for a paradigm shift in waterborne public transportation and fosters a better integration into public transportation systems.
