Corvus Reports "Resounding Interest" in Bunker-Saving Orca ESS
Canada-based maritime battery manufacturer Corvus Energy (Corvus) says "resounding interest" in its Orca ESS system has been received from numerous maritime applications and vessel types, including cruise ships, cargo ships, chemical tankers, and speciality vessels.
"In less than 6 months from the launch of Orca ESS, the order book for the next generation battery solution from Corvus Energy has exceeded 9 mega-watt hours (MWh)," explained the company.
Noting a step change in cost, Corvus says its Orca ESS provides an economical solution capable of drastically reducing fuel consumption, as well as maintenance costs, while helping the environment at the same time.
"Beyond the technical advances that Orca ESS brings to the industry, Corvus has rewritten the economics of implementing a battery solution for hybrid or all-electric applications," said Corvus.
Further, the company notes that Orca ESS "makes sense" for applications on new vessel types, and provides a portfolio of solutions suitable to meet the differing requirements across various vessels types, and presents a "very compelling" return on investment (ROI).
Last month, Corvus highlighted the use of its lithium ion ESS, congratulating Seaspan Ferries Corporation (SFC) on the delivery of its new "state-of-the-art" vessel, Seaspan Swift, which can run on diesel, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and battery power.
