A pre-approved battery room solution

The Corvus BOB is a standardised, plug-and-play battery room solution available in 10-foot and 20-foot ISO high-cube container sizes. It’s designed for easy integration with existing ship systems.

“With a pre-approved battery room solution you ease the classification process, you have limited interfaces and all surrounding structures and systems can be prepared prior to delivery,” said Halvard Hauso, chief commercial officer at Corvus Energy.

Power-by-the-hour

Mr Hauso said that going forward, containerised solutions will be an important part of the ongoing transition towards cleaner and more sustainable maritime transportation.

This is due to scalability and also to the ability for new business models like “power-by-the-hour” and leasing options.

The containerised solution provides a safe, compact and space-efficient solution for housing batteries on board a ship, either on deck or below deck.

Multiple containers can be combined to create larger energy storage capacities, providing scalability based on the ship’s energy requirements.

It also integrates with all power management systems, making it easier to adapt the system to different ship sizes and power demands.

The standard shipping container dimensions make transport less complex and more predictable, as it provides easy storing, stacking and installation. Off-hire and installation time can be significantly reduced as the battery room is fully tested before it arrives at the shipyard.

The A60 battery room container comes with batteries, a battery management system (BMS), HVAC, Thermal Runaway Exhaust, in addition to firefighting and detection systems.

Corvus already has several projects on order for the Corvus Orca BOB with delivery in 2023. Going forward, the company said it will expand the container range to include other products from its battery portfolio.
