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.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
