The investment will support the company\u2019s continued growth and the commercialization of battery solutions that can help reduce emissions from the maritime sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Energy storage systems for maritime electrification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maritime sector accounts for approximately three percent of global CO\u2082 emissions. The transition to battery-electric propulsion can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with modern diesel-electric solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nereida offers battery solutions for a broad range of vessels, from service vessels and wellboats to ferries and offshore vessels. Its offering includes a proprietary control system and software platform that forms a distinct layer on top of the maritime battery systems. In addition, the company has developed a flexible module that allows battery strings to be configured at different heights for optimal use of the battery room. The system is also prepared for new chemistries and cell formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Maritime electrification is essential for reducing emissions from shipping and other maritime activities. Nereida has a highly experienced team, strong technological expertise, and has already demonstrated its ability to secure commercial contracts in a market with significant growth potential. We believe the company is well positioned to contribute to emissions reductions in a sector where battery-electric solutions will play an increasingly important role in the years ahead, says <strong>John Egil Johannessen, Investment Manager at Nysn\u00f8.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Industry specialists with decades of experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nereida was established in 2025 by a team of industry specialists with several decades of experience in developing and implementing maritime electrification solutions.&nbsp; The company is led by Geir Bj\u00f8rkeli, former CEO of Corvus Energy, and its employees have backgrounds from companies including ABB Marine, Siemens Energy, Rolls-Royce, and Ulstein.
