Swedish electric boat manufacturer Candela has raised SEK 77.6 million in a directed share issue subscribed by major shareholder EQT Ventures, according to documents from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) reviewed by Breakit.

The company's valuation remains at approximately SEK 2.17 billion, unchanged from its previous funding round last autumn.

"The SEK 80 million we have now raised is part of our deliberate strategy to capture the market for electric vessels, and we have many exciting new deals of the same caliber as the one we have already announced in Mumbai," commented Candela CEO Gustav Hasselskog in an email to Breakit.
