ZESST is participating in the ecological transition by building fast, reliable, zero-emission hydrogen-powered boats for both the private and public maritime transportation sectors.
Company's story
Our Specialty
Revolutionizing carbon-free maritime transport
Conceptualized and produced by Almatech Space and Naval Engineering, ZESST is building a fleet of hydrogen-powered boats that are silent and ecologically-friendly by only emitting water vapor. Thanks to their hydrofoils, the ships fly above the water offering unparalleled comfort to the passengers aboard the shuttle whilst consuming 85% less energy. This has the added advantage of being much less disturbing the maritime ecosytems they operate in.
The mission of ZESST is to offer an accessible and modern alternative to more conventional forms of water transport. The expertise acquired in the aerospace and naval industries allows ZESST to put state-of-the-art technologies to work towards environmentally-friendly boats. Founded in Switzerland at EPFL, ZESST combines innovation and Swiss quality to guarantee security, well-being and efficency.

Our story
A common passion, a team of experts pursuing green mobility
The ZESST team is comprised of experienced and passionate professionals who have all worked in both space and naval engineering.
Achieving zero-emissions water transport
Over 40% of the world’s population lives less than 40 kilometers away from the shoreline. The increase in economic activity in coastal regions is putting unprecedented pressure on our ecosystem. As the climate experts from GIEC stated: the time for decarbonization is now.
Our vision: Achieving net-zero emissions for maritime mobility.
Our mission is to build and deploy industry-leading, zero-emission, hydrogen-powered water craft that can help bring coastal societies closer to one another.
Our team's extensive experience and track record in the space industry sets us apart from conventional offerings in the market.
Total investment and operating costs are minimized through the optimization of resources and the smart integration of different technologies on board ZESST boats.
The introduction of each ZESST boat results in a reduction of more than 1'500 tons of CO2 per year per ship.
ZESST complies with national and international (MARPOL, ECA) environmental protection regulations and is a safe and sustainable investment for the present and future requirements of the 21st century. ZESST is building boat that follow the principles of sustainable blue economy financing (UNEP FI)
