A trial for the first public electric harbour craft charging point in Singapore began on April 8 at Marina South Pier, as part of a two-year scheme to develop charging points across different locations.
Under the scheme, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) will use the data collected from the trial to develop a national electric harbour craft charging infrastructure master plan, roll-out plans as well as national standards for such charging points.
Launched by Singapore maritime start-up Pyxis and SP Mobility, a subsidiary of national grid operator SP Group, the charging point at Marina South Pier features a 150 kilowatt (kW) direct current fast charger similar to that of fast chargers for electric vehicles on land and a cable management system that prevents the charging gun from dropping into the water.
Passenger vessel Pyxis X Tron will be used to test the charging infrastructure, and gather comprehensive data from its use.
