Corvus Energy, a Canadian manufacturer of energy storage systems, announced that it will launch a new battery for cruise ships, Ro-pax and ro-ro with unlimited capacity. According to the company, the Corvus Blue Whale is a fit to applications requiring low charge or discharge rate, in combination with high energy demand.
Geir Bjørkeli, CEO of Corvus Energy highlighted
Our goal is for Corvus Blue Whale to have a similar impact on maritime decarbonization.
Today, the cruise and ferry industry are facing stricter rules and regulations, along with an increasing demand from passengers for green transportation solutions.

The manufacturer’s team used energy-dense battery cells and a space-saving design, resulting to its volume per kWh being reduced by 50% and the weight per kWh reduced by 30%. Its modular design uses quick connectors for easy commissioning and reduced installation costs.
Like the Corvus Orca Energy, the new Corvus Blue Whale design uses passive air-cooling and incorporates Corvus’ patented single-cell thermal isolation to achieve the highest safety standard in the industry.
