Yinson, MPA collaborate on Maritime Digital Twin for ports
The MoU was signed during Nor-Shipping 2025.
Under the MoU, Yinson GreenTech and MPA will collaborate by sharing data and operational insights from Yinson GreenTech’s fleet of electric harbour craft with the MDT.
This cooperation aims to improve modelling accuracy and enable scenario testing to support smarter fleet deployment and optimise port operations.
The partnership will also involve co-developing digital workflows and solutions to facilitate the expansion of electric harbour craft operations.
The collaboration aligns with Yinson GreenTech’s focus on providing clean transport solutions across the maritime sector.
By integrating its vessels, charging infrastructure, and proprietary digital platforms, the company seeks to enable real-time, data-driven operations that contribute to Singapore’s green port objectives.
Yinson GreenTech marine managing director Jan Viggo Johansen said: “We are delighted to be collaborating once more with MPA to advance the decarbonisation of Singapore’s maritime sector.
“At Yinson GreenTech, we support the shift towards cleaner port operations by integrating electric vessels, charging systems, and digital platforms that enable more efficient and sustainable outcomes.
“Together with MPA, we are driving greater efficiencies, further optimising port operations and introducing groundbreaking innovation through data that supports the transformation of Singapore’s harbour craft industry.”
In November 2023, Yinson announced the launch of the Hydromover, Singapore’s first electric cargo vessel, developed in collaboration with the Goal Zero Consortium and SeaTech Solutions.
This 18.5m vessel is engineered to transport up to 25t of cargo.
Yinson stated that the Hydromover features swappable battery technology, which can decrease operational costs by as much as 50%.
