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.

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.
