Electric Incat Hydromover 2.0 vessel begins cargo delivery to ships in Singapore Strait

It is transporting light cargo to vessels anchored in the strait waiting to dock at the city-state’s port.

The Hydromover 2.0 has officially entered service in the city-state as the all-electric light cargo transfer vessel designed by Incat Crowther for Singapore’s marinEV.

The new vessel is now transporting light cargo to vessels anchored in the Singapore Strait waiting to dock at the Port of Singapore, Incat said in a release.

The 24-metre Hydromover 2.0 can carry a 30-tonne payload across its 70 metre-squared cargo deck and is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which can be fully charged in under two hours, it added.

The vessel also integrates advanced digitalisation features, including real-time analytics, route optimisation, collision detection, and automated vessel management systems

Compared to its predecessor, the Hydromover 1.0, the new vessel is said to provide 50% more cargo capacity and a 75% larger deck space.

The 2.0 model also boasts an improved energy storage capacity and a redesigned electrical architecture to reduce power loss, which all increase the vessel’s operational range.

Incat announced that Yinson GreenTech entered a bareboat charter agreement with Yacht International UAE for the delivery of Hydromover 2.0 vessels to the United Arab Emirates, a deal that is expected to occur by mid-2026.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
