        新加坡海事初创公司Pyxis正式发布其首艘100%纯电动客轮“X Tron”号。

        据Pyxis公司称，发布会于2024年3月27日在克利福德码头（Clifford Pier）举行，共有300名嘉宾出席，其中包括新加坡海事与港务管理局（Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore，简称MPA）的代表。

        新加坡海事与港务管理局（MPA）在其社交媒体上向Pyxis公司表示祝贺，并指出“X Tron”号属于Pyxis公司所制造一系列电动港口客轮中的第一艘。它还表示，这艘航程可达 50海里的电动船将在滨海南码头（Marina South Pier）运营。

        2024年1月，新加坡海事与港务管理局（MPA）选择了Pyxis Energy、Pyxis Maritime和SP Mobility合伙公司，以及Seatrium O&G和Yinson Electric公司为其船舶充电方案在新加坡进行试点。新加坡海事与港务管理局（MPA）向全球征集关于在新加坡建立、运营并维护电动港口船（e-HC）充电点的建议后，做出了这一决定。

        新加坡海事与港务管理局（MPA）表示：“我们期待能够达成更多此类创新与合作，我们会与利益相关方密切合作，为电子海运提供安全、高效并且在商业上可行的运营环境。”

        值得注意的是，Pyxis Maritime公司与日本航运公司Mitsui O.S.K. Lines（MOL）于2023年末签署了一份谅解备忘录（MoU），双方将在新加坡地区合作共同开发营销电动船舶（EV）业务。

        当时，双方表示会致力于开发和营销工作，即在日本扩大电动船的引进，从而为实现航运业的零排放做出贡献。

Singapore’s Pyxis launches its first 100% electric passenger vessel

Singapore’s maritime start-up Pyxis has officially unveiled its first 100% electric passenger vessel, X Tron.

The launch event was held on March 27, 2024, at the Clifford Pier, and according to Pyxis, was attended by 300 guests, including representatives from Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

MPA congratulated Pyxis on its social media, noting that X Tron is the first in a series of electric port passenger vessels made by Pyxis. It also said that the battery-powered vessel has a range of up to 50 nautical miles and will operate out of Marina South Pier.

In January 2024, MPA selected Pyxis Energy, Pyxis Maritime and SP Mobility partnership, as well as Seatrium O&G (International) and Yinson Electric for their vessel charging concepts to be piloted in Singapore. This decision followed MPA’s global call for proposals to establish, operate and maintain electric harbor craft (e-HC) charging points in Singapore.

“We look forward to more of such innovations and collaborations as we work closely with our stakeholders to provide a safe, efficient, and commercially viable environment for e-HC,” MPA said.

To remind, in late 2023, Pyxis Maritime and Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the joint development and marketing of the electric vessels (EV) business in the Singapore region.

At the time, it was said that the partners would work on the development as well as marketing for the expansion of electric vessel introduction in Japan to contribute to achieving zero emissions in the shipping industry.
