Corvus Energy has been selected by BMA Technology in Turkey to supply the lithium-ion battery-based energy storage system (ESS) for a new LNG hybrid Live Fish Carrier to be built at Tersan Shipyard in Turkey.
This is the second vessel in a series of two for Norwegian salmon and trout producer, Nordlaks. Corvus Energy also delivered the ESS for Bjørg Pauline, which was recently launched from Tersan Shipyard.
“A key to success is close collaboration and reliable long-term partners,” said Mert Unlusan, managing director of BMA Technology. “Through the past years we have had numerous successful projects on hybrid and all-electric projects together with Corvus Energy. Through this relationship and our confidence in Corvus Energy, we also wanted to team up with them for this special project,” he added.
The NSK Design 4126 is 84m long and 19m wide and includes LNG hybrid propulsion (gas-electric with battery package) with a built-in redundancy. The vessel is ice-strengthened to ice class 1A and has shore connections for port operation. Estimated savings are a 30% reduction in both CO2 emissions and running cost.
Corvus Energy will deliver a 678 kWh battery system for the vessel and the equipment is scheduled for delivery in September 2020. The vessel will be delivered to Nordlaks in February.
