SeaTech Solutions International (SSI) Singapore, Lita Ocean, Pascal Technologies and Evoy signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to develop a high-speed, fully electric harbor craft!

Singapore

The project will integrate cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced electric propulsion systems and air lubrication technology, to maximize energy efficiency and operational performance. This innovative vessel is designed to set new standards for high-speed, zero-emission travel, ensuring that we reduce the environmental impact of passenger transport in harbors.

This collaboration builds on previous advancements in electric harbor crafts in Singapore, positioning the project as an essential part of the nation’s efforts to achieve maritime decarbonization. With a focus on sustainability, we aim to not only meet current demands but also exceed upcoming regulatory standards.

The Importance of Innovation in Maritime Sustainability

At SSI, we recognize the need for innovation in driving sustainability across industries. As we move toward a greener future, this partnership is a clear commitment to advancing eco-friendly technologies. By working alongside our esteemed partners—Lita Ocean, Pascal Technologies, and Evoy—we are combining expertise in electric propulsion, air lubrication systems, and high-performance vessel design to create a cleaner, more sustainable maritime solution.

This venture will not only shape the future of passenger harbor craft but will also set a precedent for other regions looking to reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency within their own fleets.

Witnessed by Key Stakeholders

This partnership was formalized at the SNIC 2024 event (Smarter Ships, Smarter Ports, Smarter Energy), where we were honored to have the signing witnessed by key figures in the maritime and sustainability sectors. Among them were H.E. Leif Trana, Ambassador of Norway to Singapore; Mr. Arne Kjetil Lian from Innovation Norway; and Mr. Kenneth Lim from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

Their support underscores the collaborative efforts needed to turn these innovative solutions into tangible results.

Looking Ahead

With this project, SSI is taking a critical step toward a cleaner and greener maritime future. As the world continues to push for sustainability, we are proud to be at the forefront of this transition. By developing cutting-edge technologies that reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency, we are helping shape the future of maritime transportation—one that is both environmentally responsible and ready for the demands of tomorrow’s world.

Together with our partners, we are not just building vessels; we are shaping the future of maritime excellence.
