Richmond’s Corvus Energy has been awarded a long-term contract to provide service and maintenance to Scandlines hybrid ferry fleet which serves routes in Denmark, Sweden and Germany. The 10-year contract is for the entire Scandlines hybrid ferry fleet. The comprehensive contract includes both traditional service and maintenance of the fleets’ energy storage systems, plus Corvus’ remote condition-based monitoring service called Watchman. On Feb. 5, Scandlines put its two, newest Corvus powered hybrid ferries, the M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen, into regular service on their Rostock-Gedser route between Denmark and Germany. Along with the decreased environmental impact, the fuel consumption of the vessels has been reduced to almost one third per crossing per car compared to the previous ferries used on the same route.
