Staff numbers at Artemis Technologies, which is leading a Belfast-based consortium to decarbonize maritimely, are expected to almost treble to 70 by the end of 2021 and rise to 100 by this time next year.

One of the worldÕs fastest yachts, the AC45f, was in Belfast today helmed by double Olympic gold medallist and AmericaÕs Cup veteran Iain Percy. The foiling AC45f, not seen before in Ireland, is owned by Artemis Technologies who will launch a major investment project in Belfast on Thursday aimed at the decarbonisation of maritime.

It is part of a major recruitment drive by the company as it ramps up its program to develop and build a new class of zero-emission fast ferries in the city.

The £60 million projects, backed by UK Research and Innovation’s flagship Strength in Places Fund is being led by the company’s Chief Operations Officer, Professor Mark Gillan.

He said:

“This is an incredibly exciting time for Artemis Technologies, and the wider maritime sector, as we make strides towards a net zero future for the industry, both in the UK and across the globe.

“Operating from Northern Ireland, together with our partners in the Belfast Maritime Consortium, we are working to deliver transformative new technology that will revolutionise maritime transport.”

A native of Co Down, Mark has held engineering leadership across the world, including senior roles in Formula One with McLaren, Jaguar/Red Bull, Toyota, and as Head of the Race Team at Williams.

He added:

“We are recruiting for a number of key roles throughout the organisation and are particularly interested in hearing from exceptional potential candidates in the fields of flight control and complex systems engineering and electronics, project planning, procurement, electric drive train, naval architecture, and a range of support and administration roles.

“Many of these are jobs that simply did not exist in Northern Ireland a year ago. There is a huge opportunity here to ensure that we, as a region, hold on to our most talented minds while also attracting leading global experts.

“Our programme of works is really capturing people’s imaginations, and there is a real sense of pride of being part of something that will change the world, with Northern Ireland at the very heart.”

Harnessing knowledge that combines technology from America’s Cup and Formula 1, the vessels to be developed in Belfast will be powered by the unique Artemis eFoilerTM electric propulsion system.
