Candela Technology, based in Stockholm, Sweden, develops electric hydrofoil ferries for public water transport. The vessels are designed to provide fast, reliable, and comfortable passenger service while delivering zero emissions and high energy efficiency, with the aim of reducing emissions, noise, and operating costs. The company, which employs a few hundred people, works with cities and transport authorities to modernize waterways and shorten urban congestion through electrified ferry services. In the maritime transportation sector, Candela positions itself as a producer of electric hydrofoil ferries that can operate with lower infrastructure requirements and operating costs compared with conventional ferries. A notable development in 2024 was a partnership with Al Seer Marine to advance waterborne public transport in the emirate.
