ZESST by Almatech

The ecological transition to maritime e-transport is underway: ZESST by Almatech produces Zero Emission Speed ShutTles that are fast hydrogen-powered ferries flying on smart hydrofoils. Not only are ZESST vessels zero emission, fast, silent and comfortable but they also offer costs of ownership over their lifetime lower than fossil fuel fast ferries. The startup combines several cutting-edge technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, high density batteries, smart hydrofoils and ultra-compact submarine propulsion.
