Danfoss Singapore celebrates the first anniversary of its fully electric ferry fleet, Electric Dream, which has significantly contributed to Singapore’s maritime decarbonisation efforts by eliminating over 6,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. In collaboration with Penguin and other industry partners, Danfoss has developed a scalable and adaptable model that aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and the 2050 decarbonisation goal.
The Electric Dream fleet’s success is attributed to Danfoss’ innovative fast-charging solutions and technology, making the fully electric ferry operationally viable. Lodi Boedels, Head of Engineering for Marine & Land Electrification, APAC, Danfoss Drives, highlighted the efficiency and output advantages of a fully electric system over a hybrid propulsion system. He noted, “The sustainability impact of Electric Dream demonstrates how this project model can be replicated for Singapore’s maritime decarbonisation roadmap.”
Huan Ping Tan, Head of Drives Singapore at Danfoss Drives, emphasised the importance of tailored decarbonisation solutions and customer-centric approaches in facilitating the adoption of electric solutions in the maritime industry. He addressed the challenges of balancing operational needs with sustainability, stating that upcoming shifts towards electrification are crucial for the industry’s future.
As Singapore continues to pursue its ambitious environmental goals, the Electric Dream project stands as a testament to the potential of electric solutions in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices in maritime operations.
