The world’s longest electric sea journey by a passenger vessel has been completed, signaling a shift in how electric ferries could operate in the future.

Sweden-based Candela says its electric hydrofoiling ferry, the P-12, has successfully traveled 160 nautical miles from Gothenburg to Oslo, proving that electric vessels are no longer limited to short, fixed routes or specialized charging infrastructure.

Electric ferries are expanding rapidly, particularly in Norway, where more than 100 are already in operation.
