The Pyxis and SP Group will commence trials for the land-based direct current (DC) charging concept, using their fleet of electric harbour crafts (e-HCs) in Singapore.
Seatrium will explore the mobile charging concept involving floating energy production units which can be transported at required locations as part of a sea grid to provide electricity to e-HC. Meanwhile, Yinson GreenTech will test their high power (350-450 kW) DC Charger, to prepare for larger electric vessels.
The DC charging model will be deployed at Marina South Pier from March 2024-2026 which is expected to have an extension in 2027.
