(KPL/VNA) - The Maritime and Port Authority
of Singapore (MPA) on April 8 launched the first pilot trial for an electric
harbour craft charging point at Marina South Pier, providing the maritime
industry with decarbonisation options.
This came less than two weeks after the
unveiling of X Tron, the first fully electric vessel transporting crew members
from mainland Singapore to ships in Singapore’s waters, by local start-up
Pyxis.
The charging point was awarded to a
partnership between Pyxis Energy, Pyxis Maritime, and SP Mobility.
It follows an earlier call for proposals to
develop and operate electric harbour craft charging points at various locations
under a two-year pilot scheme.
Data insights from the charging point will be
used to develop a national electric harbour craft charging infrastructure
masterplan, implementation plan, and national standards for charging
infrastructure, the MPA said.
