ACEL Power's 50 HP Electric Outboard Propels Porrima P111 RIB to 29 knots in Successful Sea Trial
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACEL Power Inc. today announced outstanding test results for the new Porrima P111 rigid-inflatable boat (RIB). During sea trials last week, the 5.2 m (17 ft) aluminium centre-console RIB, powered by ACEL's IE 50™ 50 HP electric outboard and with Lithium Ferro-Phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery pack, achieved a max speed of 29 knots while maintaining smooth, no emissions operations. 29 knots. Zero emissions. Proven performance. ACEL Power's IE 50™ sets a new standard for electric marine propulsion. Share Key Performance Highlights Raising the Bar for High-Performance Electric Propulsion 'These trials prove that clean doesn't mean slow,' said Anthony Liu, Co-Founder & CEO of ACEL Power. 'Pushing an aluminum RIB of this size to 29 knots—without fumes, vibration, or carbon emissions—demonstrates the headroom our high-voltage architecture still has for commercial and recreational duty cycles.' Why It Matters Power-to-weight advantage – The IE 50™ delivers instant torque and high efficiency in a lightweight package, offering performance on par with conventional 70 HP systems while maintaining a lower overall weight when paired with ACEL's modular battery pack. Endurance & safety – The RIB can cruise for roughly two hours at planning speed, with LFP chemistry offering >3,000 charge cycles and superior thermal stability. Plug-and-play integration – Features like the digital throttle, floating NFC smart keys, and cloud-based diagnostics are designed for seamless installation and intuitive operation right out of the box. Next Steps While the RIB was developed as a tender for the zero-emission Porrima P111 catamaran, its successful performance demonstrates that ACEL Power's electric propulsion system is well-suited for mission-driven vessels focused on sustainability, such as support craft for clean energy expeditions, scientific monitoring platforms, and next-generation tenders for electric or hybrid motherships. ACEL will exhibit IE-Series at METSTRADE (Amsterdam) this November. Hi-resolution images and raw test data are available upon request. About ACEL Power ACEL Power, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is a pioneering manufacturer of electric outboard propulsion systems, leading the marine industry in innovation and sustainability. Noted for introducing the world's first mass-produced 50 and 75HP electric motors, ACEL Power is committed to shaping a sustainable future through the creation of a smart electric eco-system. With a forward-looking vision, ACEL aims to offer a comprehensive range from 1HP to 650HP, establishing new benchmarks for marine propulsion in performance, safety, and longevity. Leveraging patented technology and integrated software solutions, ACEL Power is driving change towards a cleaner, more efficient boating experience.

ACEL Power and Iconic Zero-Emission Vessel "Porrima P111" Partner for Landmark International Launch
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 27, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACEL Power Inc., a Canadian leader in intelligent electric propulsion systems, is proud to announce its participation in the relaunch of Porrima P111—the world's first zero-carbon vessel to circumnavigate the globe without fossil fuels. This collaboration marks the first phase of an ongoing partnership with Porrima to scale intelligent electric systems for auxiliary and main propulsion in future vessels. Originally built in Switzerland and launched in 2010, Porrima made history by completing four global tours powered entirely by renewable energy. After arriving in Taiwan in 2023, the vessel has undergone more than a year of advanced retrofitting in southern Taiwan. The upgraded ship, now named Porrima P111, stands as a symbol of global collaboration in marine innovation and sustainability. The official launching ceremony took place on May 22, 2025, at Xingda Port, Kaohsiung City. Hosted by the Co-Founder of Porrima Stan Shih, the event was attended by Taiwan's Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung, Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. and First Lady Valerie Whipps, highlighting growing diplomatic and environmental cooperation in the Pacific region. The presence of Pacific leaders reflects the growing alignment between technology, sustainability, and diplomacy — a vision ACEL Power supports as we expand into Asia-Pacific markets. As part of this groundbreaking partnership, ACEL Power is collaborating with Porrima to deliver its Intelligent Electric Series for the vessel's Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) tender, utilizing its 50HP system with 40Kwh Battery pack. More than electrification, this integration represents a leap towards intelligent marine mobility — combining zero-emission performance with digitalization. Together, ACEL and Porrima are setting a new global benchmark for sustainable, smart marine innovation. By contributing to this flagship project, ACEL Power is proud to join a global ecosystem of innovators committed to redefining the future of maritime mobility. Porrima was co-founded by Acer Group founder Stan Shih and "Blue Economy" author Gunter Pauli, with a vision to position net-zero marine innovation as a pillar of future industry. The vessel's retrofit was led by a cross-industry collaboration driven by Shih, leveraging Taiwan's industrial capabilities to build a new zero-carbon marine supply chain. "This moment marks both a celebration of the past and a bold step into the future," said Anthony Liu, CEO of ACEL Power. "We're honored to power part of Porrima's journey and excited to expand access to electric propulsion through our partnership with VIVIC."

In 2017, the solar energy system was strengthened with an intelligent kite operated by a robot and hydrogen made from seawater. After sailing the equivalent of four times around the world, Porrima is ready to industrialize these zero emissions ships which are 20% boat and 80% technologies. These ships support sustainable local economic growth and stimulates entrepreneurship for the common good.
