“REGENT, HITRANS Collaborate on Feasibility of Seaglider Vessels for North Scotland Coastal Travel”

REGENT Craft, a devel­op­er and man­u­fac­tur­er of Seaglid­er ves­sels, recent­ly announced a col­lab­o­ra­tion with Scot­land-based HITRANS (High­lands and Islands Trans­port), to explore poten­tial mar­itime oper­a­tions in the region, reports a press release. 

The part­ner­ship is to focus on data shar­ing and aims to explore how Seaglid­er craft could improve the trans­porta­tion net­work in Scot­land, bring­ing ben­e­fits to peo­ple and to the envi­ron­ment via ease of trav­el and reduc­tion of CO2 emis­sions. 

Adam Tri­o­lo, VP of REGENT Com­mer­cial Busi­ness Devel­op­ment, com­ment­ed, “Our work with HITRANS is an excit­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty to show­case to Scot­land and the high­lands com­mu­ni­ties the poten­tial human and envi­ron­men­tal ben­e­fits Seaglid­er ves­sels could have on coastal trans­porta­tion.”

David Hold­en, Region­al Sus­tain­able Avi­a­tion Man­ag­er at HITRANS, added, “REGENT is bring­ing much need­ed inno­va­tion to coastal trans­porta­tion which has the poten­tial to trans­form how peo­ple trav­el across the High­lands and Islands in the future. We will help to realise the vision of Seaglid­er trav­el for the peo­ple of Scot­land.”
