Yinson GreenTech (YGT) and Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) completed Singapore’s first cargo and crew deliveries by a fully electric vessel. These achievements, spearheaded by YGT’s marine electrification business, marinEV, demonstrate the viability of electric solutions for real-world cargo transportation within busy port environments, paving the way for the wider adoption of electric vessels.

The successful electric cargo deliveries signify the culmination of extensive planning and collaboration between YGT and EPS. The cargo delivery to EPS’s Pacific Sentinel was completed using marinEV’s electric vessel - the Hydromover, which is Singapore’s first fully electric cargo vessel. YGT spearheaded its creation along with the other Goal Zero Consortium partners, including SeaTech Solutions and Shift Clean Energy.

 It was one of the proposals under the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) joint Call-for-Proposals for the electrification of harbour craft to be awarded R&D grants from both the MPA Maritime Innovation and Technology (MINT) Fund and SMI Fund in August 2021.
