Yinson GreenTech introduces SG’s first electric hydrofoil vessel

Its hydrofoil system reduces energy consumption by up to 80%.

Yinson GreenTech unveiled the region's first fully electric hydrofoil vessel, the Hydroglyder, during the Offshore Energy Week (OSEA) 2024 last 19 November.

Developed in collaboration with Lift Ocean and Zeabuz, the vessel is engineered to carry up to 12 passengers at a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots.

Its hydrofoil system lifts the hull above the water, significantly reducing energy consumption by up to 80% and operational costs by 90%.

Alongside the launch, Yinson GreenTech’s marinEV introduced its Marine Digital Platform which enables easy booking, tracking, and reporting.

It has features including route planning and optimisation to provide a comprehensive approach to reducing emissions in short-sea shipping.

Moreover, Yinson GreenTech has secured funding from OCBC which the company said will propel the development and deployment of this technology.

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.
