Goal Zero consortium launches Singapore’s first fully electric cargo vessel

Goal Zero consortium has launched its first fully electric cargo vessel called the Hydromover in Singapore. The vessel is an 18.5 metre harbour craft with swappable batteries that can carry cargo of up to 25 metre. It will generate zero emission and is expected to reduce operational costs by up to 50 per cent compared with conventional vessels.

The Goal Zero consortium is led by SeaTech Solutions, which designed the vessel. Yinson GreenTech (YGT), a subsidiary of Yinson Holdings, was responsible for programme management, system solutions and commercialisation and Shift Clean Energy was the battery technology partner.
