Zero-Omission Vessel To Be Built In Belfast
A zero-omissions automated sailing vessel will be built in Belfast, a project led by Olympic gold medallist Iain Percy.
The 45-metre catamaran will require no fossil fuels, offer unlimited range and have the potential to travel at 50 knots, with a cruising speed of 30 knots in any conditions, including when there is no wind.
Artemis Technologies will establish a new centre at Belfast's harbour in a bid to revive the city's shipbuilding industry.
The company is led Mr Percy, a British athlete who hopes to harness new green maritime technologies for the passenger boat.
He said: "It can go on forever. This boat could set off on to the ocean and ad infinitum could sail around the globe at 30 knots."
The vessel will be ultra-light, built using cutting-edge composite materials with a capacity to carry 50 passengers.
