Marine energy storage specialist Corvus Energy has formed a strategic alliance with Brazil-based maritime and offshore service provider Belga Marine to provide tailored support for the rapidly growing battery-powered Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) fleet in Brazil. Known as one of the world's leading marine energy storage system providers, Corvus Energy is expanding its service offerings to include expert aftermarket battery system services and on-site spare parts storage, in collaboration with Belga Marine.

Brazil is experiencing significant growth in the offshore energy sector, driven by both traditional oil and gas projects and emerging renewable initiatives. The country now hosts the largest offshore oil and gas fleet, with around 500 vessels currently operational and more expected to join in the near future. Petrobras, the country's state-owned oil company, is actively investing in decommissioning older assets and modernizing its fleet, with around 40 new ships set to enter service from 2027 onwards.

To cater to the specific needs of Brazil's expanding OSV fleet, which already boasts several Corvus Energy Storage Systems, the companies have joined forces. Belga Marine, a trusted partner in Brazilian maritime and offshore operations since 1981, offers maintenance and repair services for advanced marine equipment, having supported global technology suppliers and customers for over 40 years.

With Belga Marine's technical expertise and Corvus Energy's global reach, digital monitoring, predictive analytics, and extensive service network, the companies aim to ensure customers receive comprehensive support throughout the entire lifecycle of their battery-powered vessels. Tor-Gunnar Hovig, Head of Region-Americas for Corvus Energy, emphasized the importance of reliable local support as battery technology adoption accelerates in Brazil's offshore sector.

Ari Claudio, Belga Marine's Technical Manager, expressed enthusiasm about expanding their specialized maintenance solutions to include marine battery systems, through their new partnership with Corvus Energy.
