Energy storage systems provider Corvus Energy’s BOB (Battery-On-Board) system has received Type Approval from DNV. Corvus says its BOB is a standardised, plug-and-play battery room solution available in 10-foot and 20-foot ISO high-cube container sizes and is designed for easy integration with existing ship systems.

The A60 battery room container comes with batteries, a battery management system (BMS), HVAC, Thermal Runaway Exhaust, in addition to firefighting and detection systems.

According to Corvus, BOB provides a safe, compact, and space-efficient solution for housing batteries on board a ship, either on deck or below deck. Multiple containers can be combined to create larger energy storage capacities, providing scalability based on the ship’s energy requirements. It also integrates with all power management systems. Corvus says that this flexibility makes it easier to adapt the system to different ship sizes and power demands.
