Corvus Energy Blue Whale ESS awarded RINA Type Approval

MBF Member, Corvus Energy is pleased to announce that it has received Type Approval from RINA for its large-scale marine energy storage system, the Blue Whale ESS.

RINA Type Approval confirms that the Blue Whale ESS complies with RINA Rules for the Certification of Lithium Battery Systems. This approval, along with recently awarded type approval from DNV, demonstrate that the large-scale energy storage system complies with the most stringent rules, regulations, and safety requirements in the industry, as defined by leading maritime class societies.

Designed for large vessels and large energy demands

The result of a multimillion-dollar development program, the Blue Whale ESS is designed specifically for large vessels, like Cruise Ships, Ro-Pax and Service Operation Vessels (SOV), and vessels that require a large amount of energy.

The Blue Whale design incorporates the unsurpassed safety features of the Corvus Orca ESS, the world`s most installed marine energy storage system, along with additional features that make it better equipped to meet the energy demands of large vessels.

For example, optimized energy density enables the Blue Whale to deliver more power. This in turn can extend the vessel’s ability to achieve and maintain zero-emission operations, including during transit through emissions-restricted zones and port stays.
