Korindo Energy, the authorised dealer for Scania marine engines in Singapore, proudly supplies the power behind the newly launched RAPID XIPHIAS, a Firefighting (FiFi) Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV).
Unveiled on 4 July 2025 at ST Engineering’s Benoi shipyard, the RAPID XIPHIAS will undergo sea trials to validate next-generation capabilities such as AI-enabled hotspot detection, unmanned HazMat sensing, autonomous navigation, underwater search, and remote lifebuoy deployment.
