Marine energy storage systems (ESS) provider Corvus Energy has obtained a Manufacturing Survey Arrangement (MSA) accreditation from the Norwegian ship classification organisation DNV GL.
The accreditation signifies that Corvus’ manufacturing processes fulfil quality, safety and environmental standards established by DNV GL.
The certification was issued after Corvus Energy successfully conducted the DNV GL Manufacturer Product Quality Assessment (MPQA) test.
The certification will allow Corvus Energy to independently oversee the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) at its Richmond facility in Canada. Earlier presence of a DNV GL surveyor was mandatory.
Corvus Energy QHSE director Abbas Nouri Zenouz said: “It’s a testament to the strict quality assurance methods we adhere to in our manufacturing operations, as well as the collaborative relationship developed between Corvus and DNV GL over the years rooted in our mutual goal of improving safety in marine battery applications.”
DNV GL Vancouver office business development director Anders Mikkelsen said: “It is fitting that Corvus Energy is the first battery supplier to achieve MPQA/MSA.
