On 14 October 2026, Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority announced the Early Adopter Scheme for Electric Harbour Craft (EASE). The scheme offers up to S$250,000 per vessel to harbour craft operators to support the transition to electric vessels. This policy push aims to address the chicken-and-egg challenge facing vessel electrification by catalysing early demand and encouraging more operators to make the switch to electric vessels.
Additionally, Singapore will continue expanding its charging infrastructure, including the addition of four chargers at Loyang Offshore Supply Base and more public chargers at Jurong Port and West Coast Pier in 2027. Pacific Environment welcomed the grant and commitment to zero-emissions harbour craft, stating that it sends a clear policy signal that will accelerate market development and spur investment in electric vessels.
