candela's 'flying' electric hydrofoil ferry arrives in berlin, cutting city commute to 10 minutes
Briefly

Candela's electric hydrofoil ferry, the P-12, significantly reduces commute times in Berlin, achieving a ten-minute journey across the Spree river, addressing city traffic challenges.
Uwe Fabich highlights the limitations of current transport, stating, 'There's always a traffic jam. Public transportation isn't much better. Tram line 21, one of the few options, takes 20 minutes. After that, there's still a long walk to the Funkhaus.'
With a maximum speed of 25 knots, the P-12 ferry is positioned as the fastest of its kind in Germany, showcasing innovations in urban transport.
The management anticipates expanding the ferry service to two trips per hour due to the high demand for quick access to cultural hubs, responding to city commuters' needs.
