MPA calls for design proposals for new electric patrol craft
The Straits Times
|October 16, 2024
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is calling for design and development proposals for new electric patrol craft that will start operations by the first quarter of 2028, it said on Oct 14.
According to tender documents from MPA, these craft should include autonomous and digital functions such as remote operations from a shore-based control centre and have safety measures like collision and avoidance detection systems.
They must be equipped with dispersant spraying and firefighting abilities, and be capable of watering down chemical spills involving hazardous or flammable materials.
Apart from having sufficient battery charging and replacement capabilities, these patrol craft should have secure battery compartments to make sure the batteries are not flammable, and for gas and water to not pass through them, as well as cooling systems for heat management.
