The station features six IP67-rated CCS2-ready power outlets, accommodating a range of electric harbor craft with varying power capacities. Equipped with dynamic load balancing and adaptive load management, the system ensures efficient power distribution and supports the growing demand for maritime electrification. This infrastructure is designed to facilitate cleaner and more sustainable port operations.
Kjell Andre Engen, President of Wilhelmsen Ships Service, highlighted the environmental benefits, stating: “We believe that transitioning from internal combustion engines to modern electric harbor crafts can significantly reduce emissions and enhance air quality at ports. This initiative aligns with our goal of minimising our carbon footprint in maritime logistics and deliveries. It also represents a tangible step towards assisting our customers in addressing their Scope 3 emissions within their value chains.”
Jan-Viggo Johansen, Managing Director of marinEV, YGT’s marine electrification division, emphasized the importance of robust infrastructure, noting: “This collaboration underscores the critical role of infrastructure readiness in scaling maritime electrification. A robust charging network is essential to support the growing fleet of electric harbour craft, including our enhanced electric cargo vessel Hydromover 2.0 and electric passenger hydrofoil vessel Hydroglyder.” He added: “These innovations, when paired with smart, future-ready charging solutions like this station, pave the way for cleaner, more efficient port operations.”
The partnership builds on prior agreements, including an October 2024 collaboration between YGT and WSS to develop charging infrastructure for Singapore’s first fully electric cargo ship, Hydromover. In March 2025, YGT, WSS, and R W Marine Services signed a memorandum of understanding to promote marine electrification in Singapore. Under this agreement, R W Marine Services will lease and manage a fleet of electric vessels supplied by YGT, while WSS plans to charter these vessels for zero-emission launch services.
This initiative supports Singapore’s efforts to reduce emissions in its maritime sector, enhancing air quality and promoting sustainable logistics through advanced electric vessel technology.
