Bibby Marine Launches Battery-First eCSOV in Spain

Bibby Marine has launched its new electric commissioning service operation vessel (eCSOV) at Armon Shipyard in Vigo, Spain.

The vessel entered the water on 10 October at an event attended by members of the Bibby family, Bibby Line Group representatives and project partners.

The eCSOV will now undergo further outfitting at the shipyard, including the installation of its battery systems, ahead of delivery and a formal naming ceremony in 2027.

The vessel, to be named Staffordshire, is designed around battery-first propulsion, with its energy storage system serving as the primary power source rather than supplementing conventional propulsion.
