Coming to NZ – Seagliders

Bureau Veritas is planning to bring its revolutionary zero emission REGENT seaglider to New Zealand.

The company believes that the speed, cost, small size and simple berthing process will prove invaluable for high speed maritime transport throughout the Pacific.
It is working in partnership with REGENT, Ocean Flyer and Maritime New Zealand. Ocean Flyer signed an historic $700m agreement in April this year with REGENT to bring 25 seagliders to New Zealand.

Seagliders will service routes up to 290kms with existing battery technology and up to 800kms with next-generation batteries, via existing dock infrastructure.
