On June 25, 2025, ROYPOW's Marine Lithium Battery Systems proudly announced that they have achieved DNV Type Approval during the Electric Hybrid Marine Expo Europe 2025, held at the RAI Amsterdam. This certification signifies a major step forward in ensuring safety and compliance within the maritime industry, placing ROYPOW among a select group of companies globally that have met DNV's stringent regulatory standards.
The DNV (Det Norske Veritas) Type Approval is a globally recognized certification that confirms that a product adheres to high international safety and performance benchmarks necessary for marine applications. DNV conducted an intensive and thorough evaluation of the ROYPOW battery systems, focusing on a variety of critical aspects such as system design, electrical safety, environmental adaptability, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), functional safety, and environmental standards in accordance with DNV0339, DNV0418, DNV Pt.6 Cap.2 Sec.1 Non-Propagation Testing, IEC 62619, and IEC 61000 standards.
As part of the Type Approval process, DNV assessed ROYPOW’s overall capabilities, including research and development capacity, manufacturing proficiency, process controls, and quality management systems. This certification is recognized widely by regulatory bodies throughout the world, thereby facilitating easier compliance and approval processes for ship owners, operators, and system integrators. Such recognition promotes a more efficient deployment of ROYPOW’s solutions, especially in regions characterized by strict carbon emission regulations.
Having this certification not only provides proven reliability but also helps in reducing maintenance costs which ensures that long-term investments in maritime power solutions are safe and profitable. The ROYPOW Marine Lithium Battery Systems are designed to lower operational costs while saving fuel and meeting environmental objectives for marine operations. Featuring a modular design with integrated LiFePO4 battery modules, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), and Battery Control Box (DCB), the system offers flexible scalability, supporting configurations up to 1000 V/2785 kWh per system and can reach up to 100 MWh by connecting multiple systems in parallel.
Safety remains paramount due to the advanced Battery Management System (BMS) equipped with a stable three-tier architecture, independent hardware protection, an integrated fire suppression system in each battery module, a High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL) design for all power connectors, and a gas extraction system, ensuring reliable performance even under adverse maritime conditions.
The versatility of the ROYPOW systems makes them ideal for various marine applications, including hybrid or fully electric vessels, offshore platforms, passenger ferries, working boats, tugs, luxury yachts, LNG carriers, offshore supply vessels (OSVs), and aquaculture operations.
Looking ahead, ROYPOW is committed to offering high-performance, safe, and sustainable solutions that adapt to the evolving demands of the maritime industry. For more details and inquiries, please visit
