Toll Group launches electric vessel hub in Singapore for port logistics

The hub integrates electric marine transport with smart warehousing and efficient cargo trucking.

Toll Group has launched Singapore’s first electric decarbonisation hub dedicated to electric supply vessels, marking a 12-month proof-of-concept developed in partnership with Yinson GreenTech.

Toll said the hub is expected to cut emissions by up to 80% per vessel trip, saving more than one tonne of carbon dioxide per journey. The model also aims to optimise vessel movements and improve overall operational efficiency.

The hub integrates electric marine transport with smart warehousing and efficient cargo trucking, supported by real-time digital coordination. Toll said the end-to-end setup is designed to deliver cleaner and faster port logistics whilst reducing idle time across the supply chain.

Infrastructure at the site includes purpose-built charging facilities and smart cargo-handling processes intended to maximise vessel uptime. Cargo transfers are digitally verified to support speed, safety, and operational transparency.

The hub is strategically located near Changi Airport and the Eastern Anchorages, enabling rapid air-sea connectivity, efficient trailer access, and consolidated warehousing operations.

Toll said the project is intended to generate real-world operational data to support future regulatory development and accelerate the adoption of green maritime technologies in Singapore and across Asia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
