Once the acquisition closes, Grenland’s business will be completely integrated with Corvus Norway operations.

Corvus Energy Strategy and Business Planning executive vice-president Sean Puchalski said: “We are eager to have products and know-how to help serve a wider range of maritime applications.
“We see a growing demand for a lightweight ESS in high-speed vessels as well as subsea applications, for which the Grenland Energy product design is ideally suited.”
