Corvus Energy, the world’s leading supplier of energy-storage systems (ESS) for the maritime industry, announced today it has secured a $60 million growth capital injection from a group of blue-chip international investors. Morgan Stanley Investment Management led an investor consortium that includes Just Climate and J. Lauritzen.
Founded in 2009, Corvus Energy has pioneered maritime ESS and today supplies more than half of the world’s zero-emission vessels. The company has delivered over 1,300 hybrid or all-electric ESS installations worldwide. This represents 1,300 MWh of installed capacity and more than one million operating hours across different segments such as ferries, offshore vessels, tugs, RoPaxes and cruise ships – averting an estimated 11 million tonnes of CO2 to date.
The funding will enable Corvus Energy to accelerate deployment of its solutions, expand production capacity, continue leading product innovation, and contribute to the decarbonization of a global shipping industry that is currently responsible for an estimated 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Corvus Energy operates globally across 15 locations with manufacturing sites in Norway, Canada, and the United States, and offers the sector’s broadest portfolio of maritime ESS products, spanning multiple chemistries and performance profiles.
The funding round is expected to close in the coming weeks. Additional details will be announced upon completion. Alexa Capital and the law firm Schjødt advised Corvus Energy on the transaction.
