The Orkney islands are to test two electric ferries for commuting between its outlying islands as part of efforts to cut carbon emissions from shipping.

The battery-powered hydrofoil ferries, whose hulls are raised above the water, are part of a three-year, £15.5m demonstration project funded by the UK government, due to start in March 2024.

Check out this 3 second video of this whose board was elevated by an underwater ! I captured this video as he passed closely by our last week. The hydrofoil allows the board to lift out of the , reducing drag and increasing speed. He and others were zipping around the bay having lots of fun on this windy day.
