en.Wedoany.com Reported - Corvus Energy has secured a contract to supply energy storage systems for two new river cruise ships, "Riviera Reflection" and "Harmonie," owned by Scylla Shipping.
Scylla Shipping is expanding its modern fleet by investing in new vessels equipped with battery-hybrid propulsion systems. With Corvus Energy's advanced battery systems, these two cruise ships can achieve short-duration zero-emission docking and mooring in ports, while also gaining improved performance during lock operations and canal navigation. The battery systems also support effective load leveling, allowing hotel loads and thruster operations to be powered by a single generator.
The contract was officially signed this week at the Advanced Maritime Technology exhibition in Amsterdam. With this, Corvus Energy will provide battery systems for a total of 15 Scylla Shipping vessels.
Koen Boerdijk of Corvus Energy stated that the emission reduction potential for inland waterway shipping is immense, and Scylla Shipping is leading the way in this direction. He noted that Corvus is proud to be selected again as the battery supplier, with the new order confirming both the solid and sustainable partnership between the two companies and highlighting the proven efficiency of its battery systems in daily operations.
Corvus Energy will deliver the Orca energy storage system for these two new vessels. The system is ES-TRIN certified, meeting all requirements of the European technical standards for inland navigation vessels, ensuring that the battery system complies with safety, design, and performance standards for operation on European inland waterways.
Operating only a single generator with battery system support significantly reduces engine start-stop cycles, thereby lowering wear, reducing operating hours, and cutting fuel consumption, with corresponding decreases in emissions and noise levels. This benefits passengers, crew, and communities along European inland waterways.
Bart Vos, Technical Director of Newbuilding and Conversion at Scylla Shipping, pointed out that through further electrification and the application of advanced battery systems, the company is moving towards zero-emission navigation. The combination of generator optimization and battery support makes the vessels more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready.
