Wilhelmsen Ships Service and Yinson GreenTech have signed an agreement to build a charging infrastructure for Hydromover, Singapore’s first fully electric cargo vessel, at Wilhelmsen's Pandan Loop facility in Singapore. This project aligns with ongoing efforts by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI), aiming to promote the electrification of harbour craft as part of broader industry shifts towards lower-emission solutions. Lower-emission solutions Wilhelmsen Ships Service has also achieved a milestone by completing the first delivery of a customer order onboard the Hydromover during its commercial trials in September 2024. The cargo transfer was facilitated by OPL Services, Singapore's first harbour craft operator, to trial the Hydromover, which occurred from the jetty at Wilhelmsen's Pandan Loop facility to a receiving vessel on anchorage. Expressing optimism about the future, Wilhelmsen Ships Service plans to continue collaborating with Yinson GreenTech, a key player in providing sustainable technology solutions for the maritime industry.
