AS the world of transport changes with the adoption of electric vehicles, Brittany Ferries has said it envisages introducing all-electric “seaglider” passenger-only ferries (pictured)by the end of the decade.

The French shipping company signed a letter of intent with American startup REGENT for the development of the seagliders, which will combine hydrofoil with airplane technology, in an attempt at a more sustainable and efficient form of ferry travel.
