Corvus Energy, a leading supplier of marine energy storage systems, has unveiled Blue Whale NxtGen, the newest member of its NxtGen battery family. Engineered for vessels that demand high energy capacity and density, Blue Whale NxtGen offers exceptional lifecycle value, safety, and performance—while still providing modular design, scalability, and advanced digital services.
Blue Whale NxtGen marine energy storage systems, empowers the industry to reduce emissions, optimise operations, and prepare for the regulatory and environmental demands of tomorrow. At the core is the full integration of Corvus’ NxtGen architecture, which combines modularised design, cost efficiency and advanced BMS and analytics. In addition, cobalt free LFP cells with market leading performance and prolonged lifetime up to 15 years enable shipowners to lower capital expenditures and meet ESG targets. The BW NxtGen ESS will have a 1C charge / discharge rate which makes the product suitable for both energy and more power demanding operational modes.
“Blue Whale NxtGen is more than a new product launch — it represents a strategic step forward for Corvus Energy and the maritime industry. Without compromising on Corvus´ strong focus on quality, safety, security and sustainability, we are introducing contract manufacturing to optimise cost, stronger focus in China, more robust diversified global sourcing and the ability to swap battery cells without changing the product design” says Fredrik Witte, CEO of Corvus Energy. “This platform strengthens our position as the trusted partner for green maritime solutions and ensures our customers’ investments remain relevant as the industry continues to evolve.”
“Our customers are asking for solutions that balance sustainability with strong business value. Blue Whale NxtGen delivers exactly that — higher energy density, longer lifecycle, and simplified installation, all backed by stronger global presence with expertise closer to our customers. For shipyards this means more cost optimized supply chain, installation and technical support. For shipowners this helps us reduce life cycle costs, meet ESG commitments, and stay ahead of regulatory changes without compromising performance,” says Ole Jacob Irgens Head of Sales EMEA and Asia at Corvus Energy. “It’s a platform designed not only for today’s challenges but for the opportunities of tomorrow.”
Blue Whale NxtGen will have Corvus’ in-house designed 4th-generation Battery Management System (BMS), data ownership, and industry-leading cybersecurity standards that further strengthen operational trust.
