| Work Detail |
1. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) for design and development proposals for its electric patrol craft, as part of efforts to decarbonise and digitalise maritime operations.
2. In addition to meeting MPA’s operational requirements, the designs must include safety features such as advanced battery management systems, secure battery compartments to maintain fire, gastight, and watertight integrity, and intelligent cooling systems for optimal thermal management. Proposals must also include efficient charging and battery replacement solutions to support extended operations.
3. The electric patrol craft designs must integrate autonomous and digital capabilities, including remote operation from shore-based control centres and advanced collision detection systems. Lightweight construction should be adopted to ensure vessels’ operational performance while maintaining stability, seaworthiness, and energy efficiency.
4. Interested parties can visit https://go.gov.sg/mpa-eoi-epc for details and submission guidelines. Proposals must be submitted by 14 December 2024, 2359 hrs (Singapore time). |
