Corvus is thrilled to be part of this major project and have our industrial lithium-polymer battery technology featured in the hybrid tugs. We are confident that our 48-volt batteries will provide many years of economical operation as well as significantly reducing the environmental impact of such a large and important project.

—Corvus Energy’s CEO Brent Perry

The 48-volt Corvus Energy AT6500 is based on the standard 8D format that is recognized and used in 95% of marine applications and uses Dow Kokam cells with NMC chemistry.

The hybrid tugs being built Svitzer by have a maximum bollard pull of 75 tons and will be used for general offshore operations and will be called upon to provide a significant role in the ongoing development of the Gorgon gas field.

The Gorgon Project is a joint venture between several global oil companies. The venture is anticipated to garner 35.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, generate $300 billion in Australian export earnings, and have an estimated lifespan of about 40 years.

Corvus Energy, based in Richmond, B.C., Canada provides industrial-sized power in a compact, modular lithium-ion battery system to commercial marine, transportation, ports machinery, remote community, off grid and grid energy markets.
