Corvus Energy has received a contract from Rolls-Royce for the supply of a lithium ion-based energy storage system (ESS), which will be installed on-board the new OV Ryvingen vessel.

The new system will be known as Orca Energy ESS and is set to feature a power rating of 2,938kWh, which will allow ships operate on battery power alone for several hours at a time.

Corvus Energy's batteries can also be used for docking and recharging from onshore power supplies at ports.

The ESS-equipped OV Ryvingen vessel is scheduled to be delivered to the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) by the end of 2018.

Saudi Arabia-based Bahri's unit Bahri Data has signed an agreement with Norwegian classification society DNV GL.

The contract will see the organisations jointly develop a prototype solution to deliver new big data capabilities and advanced analytics in shipping, oil and gas, and marine services to address various safety, quality and compliance issues within the industry.
