With new deals in place, CSA gearing up for electric supply boat trials

The Coastal Sustainability Alliance (CSA), an industry collaborative effort led by Kuok Maritime Group (KMG), has signed two letters of intent (LoIs) to deploy an e-supply boat on trial with shipping agencies and develop a marine charging infrastructure.

The first LoI envisions utilizing the PXO e-supply boat Voltai for deliveries to seagoing vessels in a one-year trial.

The trial will prioritize lightboat operators making multiple deliveries, known as a “milk run”, to improve operational efficiency, lower carbon footprint, reduce marine traffic congestion,
