Ulstein awards Corvus Energy delivery of ESS for CSOV newbuilds
Corvus Energy has announced an order from Ulstein Power & Control for the delivery of energy storage systems for two construction service operation vessels (CSOVs) to be built for Norwegian shipowner Olympic.
Olympic is an important player in the maritime cluster on the Northwest coast and is known for having the most modern fleet for subsea and renewable service and operations.
The vessels will have hybrid battery propulsion and are based on the ULSTEIN SX222 design with TWIN X-STERN from Ulstein Design & Solutions AS.
According to Olympic Group, the TWIN X-STERN is a smart concept, optimized for low energy consumption. During operation, the offshore wind service vessels stay positioned at the turbines most of the time, and with the main propellers fore and aft, these vessels will reduce the energy requirement to a new level when on DP.
Ulstein Power & Control is the integrator and has chosen Corvus Orca Energy – the maritime ESS with the most installations worldwide for the two new buildings.
The newly opened sales office in Fosnavåg, Norway, is headed by Vice President Sales, Pål Ove Husøy.
The vessels are prepared for methanol fuel and have available space for additional battery capacity for full-electric repowering when the infrastructure for such is available.
The vessels are scheduled for delivery in spring and summer 2023.
