Corvus Energy has secured a contract to deliver a lithium-ion-based energy storage system (ESS) for the hybridisation of Farstad Shipping's platform supply vessel (PSV) Far Sun.

The PSV is currently on a long-term charter with Statoil, and is expected to see reductions in fuel consumption and emissions once the Orca ESS is equipped by Vard Electro in the second half of this year.

The system is also expected to increase safety through provision of spinning reserve for improved response times, as well as increased redundancy.

Vard Electro Global Services vice-president Christian Søvik said: "The energy storage system will provide significant savings for Farstad and Statoil over time, enabling the ship to more efficiently utilise energy produced by the generators, as well as simplifying the use of shore power.

"This will substantially reduce consumption and emissions. Another effect is less noise from ships in port."
