Corvus Energy to Provide Massive Battery System for World's First Fully Electric Offshore Vessel
Key Ideas
  • Corvus Energy will supply a 25MWh Blue Whale Battery Energy Storage System for the world's first fully electric offshore Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (eCSOV).
  • The eCSOV will operate fully on battery power for an entire day, setting a new standard for offshore vessels and reducing carbon emissions.
  • Corvus Energy's innovative DC grid architecture and offshore charging capabilities will enhance energy efficiency and power distribution on the vessel.
  • The collaboration between Corvus Energy, shipowner Bibby Marine, and others aims to optimize the vessel's power system for maximum efficiency and low emissions.
Corvus Energy, a key player in zero-emission solutions for the maritime industry, is set to provide a massive battery system for the world’s first fully electric offshore vessel. The electric Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (eCSOV) will be constructed by Spain’s Armon shipyard for UK-based shipowner Bibby Marine Ltd, with operations expected to commence in 2027 to support offshore wind farm activities. The vessel will be powered by a 25MWh Blue Whale Battery Energy Storage System, the largest Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery system used in maritime projects. In addition to battery power, dual-fuel methanol engines will help reduce carbon emissions while maintaining high reliability. The innovative approach adopted by Corvus Energy includes utilizing the battery pack as the main power source, resulting in enhanced efficiency, extended battery life, and reduced emissions. The eCSOV will boast an advanced DC grid architecture to minimize energy losses and introduce offshore charging capabilities for continuous operation. This vessel will be the first Service Operation Vessel (SOV) to implement such a feature. Bibby Marine expressed excitement about the collaboration with Corvus Energy, citing the latter's expertise and the safety and reliability of the LFP battery technology. The project aims to set new standards in offshore vessel operations, focusing on sustainability and efficiency. The battery system is scheduled for delivery in 2026, preparing the eCSOV for operational deployment in 2027. Corvus Energy's contribution underscores its global leadership in energy storage systems for emissions-free maritime solutions, with a significant impact on the industry's sustainability goals.
