Economy Minister Dr has welcomed the latest
international success of Belfast-based Artemis Technologies
during her visit to the United States.
Artemis Technologies, a global leader in zero-emission maritime
technology, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), in a
multimillion-dollar deal with Delta Marine to help advance clean
maritime solutions in the US. Delta Marine is based in Washington
State, home to the United States' largest fleet of passenger
ferries. This update follows on from an earlier announcement to
supply 20 of its cutting-edge hydrofoil vessels to Miami-based
transport innovator, Urbanlink.
Speaking after experiencing the clean maritime company's electric
vessel in action during her visit to Artemis Technologies' New
York base at Brooklyn Navy Yard, Minister Archibald said:
“It is fantastic to see Artemis Technologies expanding in
the US and securing high-profile partnerships that will
accelerate the transition to sustainable maritime transport. The
north is home to world-leading innovation in clean tech, and
Artemis Technologies' revolutionary hydrofoil technology
represents a significant opportunity to
decarbonise maritime transport.”
Commenting on her visit to the US, the Minister said: “My
visit to the US this week has been focused on deepening economic
ties, promoting trade, investment and tourism opportunities, and
supporting the north's businesses as they scale
internationally. The partnerships and connections forged this
week will help drive long-term economic development, create
high-value jobs and position the north as a leader in the
industries of the future.”
In 2024, Artemis Technologies opened a new office in Brooklyn,
further cementing its presence in the US.
Artemis Technologies Co-Founder David Tyler:
“The US is a crucial market for our business,
and this partnership with Delta Marine is a significant milestone
in our global growth strategy. Invest NI has been a key partner
in helping to facilitate our expansion by providing support to
grow our exports and through their expert representation in the
Belfast Maritime Consortium. We are proud to represent Northern
Ireland on an international stage and look forward to further
strengthening our presence in the US.”
Highlighting the economic impact of Artemis Technologies' US
success, Kieran Donoghue, CEO of Invest NI, said: “Artemis
Technologies is an innovation-driven enterprise and a shining
example of the world-class innovation emerging from Northern
Ireland. Its expansion into the US market will drive economic
growth and strengthen our reputation as a leader in green
maritime technology.
“Through initiatives like the Northern Ireland Maritime
and Offshore Network and support from our teams in the US,
Invest NI is helping companies like Artemis Technologies secure
major contracts, scale internationally and attract investment
that creates high-value jobs at home.”
