Norway-based Corvus Energy, which supplies batteries for the offshore and marine industry, will deliver a 25 MWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system for an electric commissioning service operation vessel (eCSOV) that will be constructed by Armon shipyard in Spain for UK-based shipowner Bibby Marine.
Unlike conventional hybrid systems, the vessel will use its large battery pack as the primary power source. The engines will run solely for charging at a constant, optimized load that maximizes efficiency and extends battery lifespan. The DC grid architecture minimizes energy losses and ensures seamless power distribution. Also, offshore charging capabilities will enable simultaneous battery charging.
“A fully electric offshore vessel is something the industry has been working towards for a long time, and marks a major milestone in offshore vessel operations,” said Pål Ove Husoy, VP Sales at Corvus Energy. “This eCSOV will be the first offshore vessel that can operate fully electric for a full day and will set a new standard for future offshore vessels. The unique system design incorporating battery power and dual-fuel methanol engines will increase energy efficiency while providing the reliability and performance needed.”
Equipment from Corvus Energy will be delivered to the shipyard in 2026, and the vessel is scheduled for operation in 2027, supporting the commissioning and operation of wind farms.
