Scandlines launched its new M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen Corvus-powered hybrid ferries in February, under regular service on their Rostock-Gedser route between Denmark and Germany.

The new vessels have been able to reduce fuel consumption to almost one third, per crossing per car, compared to the previous ferries used on the same route.

Corvus Energy was selected to provide its lithium ion based energy storage systems (ESS) for two new polar expedition cruise vessels last month, which are being built for an undisclosed European expedition cruise operator.
