Corvus Energy
Corvus Energy, who supply zero-emission solutions for the offshore and marine industry, are set to deliver a mega-sized battery system for the first fully electric offshore vessel ever to be built. This vessel is an electric Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (eCSOV) that will be constructed by Armon shipyard in Spain for UK-based shipowner Bibby Marine.
Blue Whale Battery Storage
Corvus Energy will supply its Blue Whale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), delivering close to 25MWh of power. It will be the largest LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery system ever delivered to a maritime project.
Is a fully electric offshore vessel possible?
‘A fully electric offshore vessel is something the industry has been working towards for a long time and marks a major milestone in offshore vessel operations,’ said Pål Ove Husoy, VP Sales at Corvus Energy. ‘This eCSOV will be the first offshore vessel that can operate fully electrically for a whole day. The system design incorporating both battery power and dual-fuel methanol engines will significantly reduce carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency while providing the reliability and performance needed for demanding offshore wind and renewable operations.’
