A First of Its Kind: Flying Ships Heading to Saudi Arabia


Saudi Arabia is eagerly anticipating the arrival of its first fleet of flying electric ships, emission-free and energy-efficient, to serve the Saudi company Red Sea Global “NEOM.”

The Swedish company “Candela” announced that it has received its largest order to date, for the supply of a fleet of “Candela P-12” electric ships to the NEOM project in Saudi Arabia, with deliveries set to begin in 2025.

In a post on its Instagram account, the company said: “This emission-free fleet will redefine water transport with multiple journeys, high speeds, and low energy costs.”

Saudi sources have reported that this fleet of flying electric ships will be the first of its kind in the world and will contribute to providing advanced transport services in the Kingdom.

Each unit of the “Candela P-12” ships weighs 10 tons and is 12 meters long. It relies on computer-guided underwater wings to glide above the waves.

The ship travels at a speed of 30 miles per hour and uses 80% less energy than traditional ships.

The company describes its ship as “silent, fast, and emission-free. Simply put, we are revolutionizing water travel, with lower fuel costs and minimal maintenance requirements.”
