DNV type approval awarded to Corvus Energy Blue Whale ESS

Corvus Blue Whale ESS

MBF Member, Corvus Energy is pleased to announce that it has received Type Approval from DNV for its Blue Whale marine energy storage system.

The DNV type-approval confirms that the large-scale energy storage system (ESS) complies with the most stringent rules, regulations, and safety requirements in the industry, as defined by one of the leading maritime class societies.

Designed for large vessels and large energy demands

As a 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 from the Corvus Orca ESS, the world`s most installed marine ESS, along with additional design benefits, such as optimized energy density and a flexible, modular design architecture, that make it better equipped to meet the energy demands of large vessels.

Optimization for energy density enables 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 zero-emission port stays. The cell chemistry is LFP which also means that it is cobalt-free.
