为达到2050年净零排放的目标，新加坡海事及港务管理局（MPA）发表声明：从2030年开始，所有新加坡港新服役的港口船舶必须完全电动化，或能够由B100生物燃料、氢等净零燃料驱动。完全电动化不仅能降低排放，还可以减少船舶维护次数、提高能源效率、降低噪音污染。MPA决定，在接下里的两年时间里，将共同资助其联盟成员开发全电动船舶。由吉宝岸外与海事（Keppel Offshore & Marine）开发的全电动渡轮，以及由新加坡船舶设计公司Seatech Solutions牵头打造的、采用换电技术的全电轻驳船等试点项目，计划于今年晚些时候启动。

        In line with its decarbonization efforts, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is mandating for all harbor craft to become fully electric, capable of using B100 biofuels or be compatible with net zero fuels such as hydrogen by 2030. In addition to slashing emissions, switching from diesel engines to batteries brings multiple benefits including less maintenance, greater energy efficiency, and less noise pollution. The MPA has co-funded consortia members to develop full-electric vessels by 2025, with pilots for a full-electric ferry by the Keppel Offshore & Marine Consortium, and full-electric lighter craft with battery swapping technology by the ‘Goal Zero’ Consortium led by SeaTech Solutions Singapore and partners like Yinson GreenTech and Lita Ocean, to be trialed later this year.

noise pollution n. 噪音污染

Tips：船舶噪声，即船舶在营运时产生的干扰或可能干扰周围生活环境的声音，污染源可分为动力装置噪声、辅助机械噪声、螺旋桨噪声和船体振动噪声等。船舶噪音会严重影响海洋生态环境，对海洋生物传输信息产生严重干扰、改变生物行为、影响生物听觉、引起生物器官的病变。
