Exploring the transition of shipping industry

Singapore is at the heart of immense challenges for the energy transition, while many alternative fuel solutions are being tested by the shipping industry. Singapore is looking to develop and deploy low carbon technology solutions. Our captain Victorien Erussard went to discover these innovations.

“We are very proud and happy to welcome Energy Observer’s stopover in Singapore. Energy Observer’s expedition around the world as a voice for Green innovations to improve our world is both ambitious and inspirational. This is the first time that Singapore welcomes a hydrogen-powered and zero-emission vessel, and it speaks of the aspiration we have as a global hub port to welcome more of such low or zero carbon vessels””
Miss Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore

Celebrating French culture

The launch of the Festival de la Francophonie coincides with the arrival of the Energy Observer in the city-state.

The arrival in Singapore of the Energy Observer is the opening event of the festival and takes place in the presence of Ms. Quah Ley Hoon, Director General of the Maritime and Port Authority.

Caught up with many partners at the Singapore Francophonie Festival 2022 Opening Ceremony, and welcomed @energy_observer to Singapore!

EO, a hydrogen-powered and zero-emissions vessel, is a testament to the maritime industry’s innovation in pursuit of #decarbonisation

Raise awareness among the youngest

Raising awareness of all audiences, especially the youngest, to the challenges of a more desirable future and sustainable development has been an integral part of our Odyssey since its inception.

We are very happy to have received many students on board our ship and in our exhibition village during our stopover in Singapore, especially from the French high school in Singapore, as well as students invited by the Jane Goodall Institute.

At a time when the latest IPCC report urges us to reduce our CO2 emissions in the long term and puts forward concrete solutions to achieve this, raising awareness and mobilizing the younger generation is a key issue!
