YGT and WSS to develop charging infrastructure for Singapore’s first fully electric cargo vessel

Yinson GreenTech (YGT) and Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) have signed an agreement to establish a charging infrastructure for Singapore’s first fully electric cargo vessel, Hydromover. The infrastructure will be built at WSS’ Pandan Loop facility to support the 18.5-meter vessel, which is equipped with swappable batteries and capable of transporting up to 25 tonnes of cargo.

This collaboration aligns with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) goal for all harbour craft to become fully electric or use net-zero fuels by 2030. The agreement follows a successful trial where Hydromover moved WSS’ cargo during its commercial test operations.
