Full adoption could reduce up to 9,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions monthly, supporting the maritime sector’s decarbonisation goals.
- Visitors at SMW 2025 can explore the PXO Voltai, Singapore’s largest electric supply boat with zero-emission propulsion and advanced energy storage. The vessel exemplifies CSA’s commitment to sustainable innovation and the future of green maritime logistics.
SINGAPORE, 26 MARCH 2025 – The Coastal Sustainability Alliance (CSA), an industry collaborative effort led by Kuok Maritime Group (KMG), today signed two Letters of Intent (LOIs) on Day 2 of the Accelerating Digitalisation and Decarbonisation Conference at Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) 2025. The first focused on prioritising using PXO’s E-Supply Boat by key ship agencies during an upcoming trial, and the second focused on developing a multi-modal, multi-site marine charging infrastructure. These partnerships mark a significant milestone in advancing the adoption of e-vessels and supporting infrastructure, setting the stage for the fruition of CSA’s vision to develop Singapore’s next-generation coastal logistics ecosystem.
“As one of the world’s busiest ports, Singapore experiences a high volume of activity daily that relies heavily on supply vessels. At Horizon Shipping Agencies (S) Pte Ltd, we prioritise sustainability, and supporting the adoption of electric supply vessels is a vital step forward. This transition not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly reduces emissions, contributing to a cleaner, greener future for the maritime industry.” says Horizon Shipping Agencies Operations Manager, Raymond Tan.
