Electric hydrofoil ferry in Stockholm offers cleaner journeys between islands

This is a good test case of durability.

On the outer islands, the Stockholm ferries slam into the concrete pier head-on, turn the motor on high to pin themselves against the pier, and then open the front so people can walk on/off. In other photos of these hydrofoil boats, there are rubber bumpers on the front and a ramp system in the front so it seems that they will continue the same mode of operation.

Oslo has also electric ships as public transport operating already for few years.
