Shell’s first all-electric ferry launched in Singapore
Author(s):

Abstract:
Singapore’s first all-electric commuter ferry, Penguin Refresh, was launched for Shell’s Energy and Chemicals Park on the island of Pulau Bukom. The 200-passenger, 21-knot electric commuter ferry is the first of three such vessels that will operate between Pasir Panjang and Shell’s Energy and Chemicals Park on Pulau Bukom. The ferries are replacing diesel-powered vessels that currently operate on the route. Electric ferries will eliminate more than 6,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the skies over Singapore. That is the annual emissions from three conventional ferries. Each Electric Dream ferry would operate at 21 knots and take less than 10 minutes to charge up after every round trip.
