Its purpose-built, field-proven battery systems provide sustained power to hybrid and fully electric heavy industrial equipment, including large marine propulsion drives. Corvus Energy was established in Canada with its head office, sales, product R&D, design and engineering, and production facilities in Vancouver, Canada. The company also has operations in Norway with sales, service and marketing activities in Bergen. The company's investors include Equinor Technology Ventures and Norsk Hydro of Norway, and BW Group of Singapore.
As the leading manufacturer of energy storage systems for maritime applications, Corvus offers the innovative Orca energy storage systems (ESS) solutions portfolio and has unsurpassed experience from more than 140 projects, totaling over 100MWh and 2 million operating hours. The company's battery systems have low maintenance costs and they enable reduced fuel consumption and emissions. More than 90% of large commercial hybrid vessels utilize Corvus energy storage systems.
Otto Richard Pukk, president and CEO of Incap Corporation states that partnership with Corvus Energy has significant impact on the whole company, as it enables Incap to expand the business of electronics manufacturing services for maritime industries. "We are happy to contribute to the production of Energy Storage Systems for green innovative ferries, which are equipped with Corvus Energy's advanced electronics," Pukk explains.
