Toll Group has launched Singapore's first decarbonisation hub for electric supply vessels, aimed at advancing the shift toward lower‑emission maritime logistics.
The global transportation and logistics provider said this 12-month proof of concept, developed in partnership with Yinson GreenTech, sets a new benchmark for smart, safe, and sustainable port operations aligned with Singapore's Green Plan 2030 and Toll Group’s commitment to achieving global net-zero ambitions.
The initiative is expected to cut emissions by up to 80% per trip, saving more than a tonne of CO₂ per trip, while optimising vessel movements and leading to overall improvements in operational efficiency.
Toll Group said a decarbonisation hub is a centralised facility that drives the transition to low-carbon operations by integrating clean energy technologies, infrastructure, and processes to reduce emissions across supply chain.
"This project will deliver real-world data and insights to guide future regulations and accelerate innovation across Asia," said Jonathon Kottegoda-Breden, president Asia Logistics, Toll Group.
"By establishing Singapore's first decarbonisation hub dedicated to electric supply vessels, we aim to enable broader adoption of green maritime technologies, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and cut emissions throughout the region."
The hub integrates electric marine transport, smart warehousing, and efficient cargo trucking into a digitally connected end-to-end operation. Real-time coordination ensures clean, responsive logistics and service levels for customers in one of the world's most dynamic logistics hubs.
"Singapore is a critical growth engine for Toll, and this launch reflects our commitment to building smarter, cleaner supply chains," Kottegoda-Breden. "We're pioneering a blueprint for sustainable maritime logistics across Asia."
Purpose-built charging infrastructure and smart cargo handling equipment will maximise uptime and ensure predictable turnarounds for time-sensitive cargo. Digitally verified processes will also guarantee fast, safe, and efficient transfers.
"By integrating electric vessels with smart infrastructure and digital processes, we’re showing how sustainable solutions can deliver both operational efficiency and significant emissions reductions," said Rajeev Sood, executive vice president – Energy, Marine & Renewables, Asia Logistics, Toll Group.
Located near Changi Airport and Singapore’s Eastern Anchorages, the hub provides air‑sea connectivity, trailer access, and consolidated warehousing to support regional logistics operations. It marks the next phase in Toll’s efforts to develop more sustainable logistics solutions.
