Corvus Energy has received Type Approval from RINA for its large-scale marine energy storage system, the Blue Whale ESS.

RINA Type Approval means the Blue Whale ESS complies with RINA rules for the certification of lithium battery systems. This approval, along with recently awarded type approval from DNV, suggests that the large-scale energy storage system complies with the most stringent rules, regulations, and safety requirements in the industry, as defined by leading maritime class societies.

The Blue Whale ESS, which cost millions of dollars to develop, is designed specifically for large vessels, like cruise ships, Ro-Pax and Service Operation Vessels (SOV), and any vessels that require a large amount of energy.
