They will transport workers to and from Shell's Energy and Chemicals Park on Pulau Bukom, replacing the diesel-powered ferries currently used.\nShell would not say how much the project costs, but a Nikkei news article on a recent proposed Thai project using ferries of a similar size cited a price tag of nearly S$2 million per vessel - or about two-thirds costlier than a diesel equivalent.\nThe Shell ferries are powered by a lithium-ion battery system with a capacity of 1.2MWh. They can attain a speed of over 20 knots (37kmh) with zero on-site emission and almost no audible noise.\nWhen berthed at Shell Bukom, the ferries will be charged via a combination of fast charging during peak hours, and slow charging during off-peak hours and overnight.\n\nAn artist's impression of the Shell Bukom electric ferry. PHOTO: INCAT CROWTHER UK\nMr Nick Potter, general manager of Shell Shipping and Maritime, Asia Pacific & Middle East, said: \"Shipping's future will involve different parts of the sector using different fuels, and electrification is a solution to decarbonise short voyages.\n\"Switching to zero-emission, fully electric ferries is part of Shell's ambition to help accelerate progress towards net-zero emissions in the shipping sector.\"\nPenguin International managing director James Tham said the company is partnering Australian marine engineering firm Incat Crowther and Singapore-based energy systems consultancy Razor Blunt Labs to build the vessels.\nThe Shell ferries will ply a route of about 5.5km, carrying around 3,000 passengers a day.\nEarlier this year, the world's largest electric ferry was launched in Norway. According to online electrification newsletter Electrive.com, the 139.2m vessel has room for 600 passengers and 200 cars. In Thailand, an electric ferry service, plying the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, was launched in December last year.\nIn Singapore, ad hoc electric river cruise vessels have been in use since 2007 - 10 years before electric cars started taking off.\nIn April (2021), Shell said it would trial hydrogen fuel cell ships here. These are vessels powered by electricity generated via a chemical process using stored hydrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":869210680,"gmtCreate":1632290726840,"gmtModify":1676530744610,"author":{"id":"4092737844653660","authorId":"4092737844653660","name":"Hk01","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47f73b69bc4bb694a9b2dedd17efba98","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4092737844653660","authorIdStr":"4092737844653660"},"htmlText":"A step towards a&nbsp;carbon neutral world. &nbsp;Good ?&nbsp;","listText":"A step towards a&nbsp;carbon neutral world. &nbsp;Good ?&nbsp;","text":"A step towards a carbon neutral world.
