“MPA Guardian” – Singapore’s first hybrid-electric patrol boat delivered to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore Powered by Praxis Automation
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has taken delivery and operationalized Singapore’s first hybrid-electric patrol boat with Bureau Veritas’ “Electric Hybrid” notation. Christened “MPA Guardian”, the patrol and emergency response craft was built by Singapore-based Penguin Shipyard International (Penguin) and designed by Southampton-based BMT, with power and control systems supplied by Praxis as part of the latter’s new electric propulsion product line.
MPA Guardian is a 34.5m multi-role command boat, with bespoke surveillance, search-and-rescue and firefighting capabilities. She is designed for patrolling duties within the port of Singapore and for quick response to marine incidents outside the port.
