Abb Cruise Ship

ABB will provide the power and propulsion for the first in a series of groundbreaking vessels that mark Ritz Carltons first foray into the maritime sector.

Abb cruise ship. In total ABB has sold over 700 Azipod units over the course of 30 years. Marine electrification specialist ABB has secured a US150m order to equip five new-build cruise vessels from Fincantieri with its Azipod electric propulsion system. The ABB order for the first ship was booked in 2011 and for the second vessel in the first quarter of 2012.

The cruise industry is increasingly opting for more sustainable and efficient technologies. Overall ABBs technology will boost the performance of the ship while increasing passenger comfort fuel efficiency and lowering emissions. The 190-meter long vessel has been dubbed the anti-cruise ship because it can accommodate just 298 passengers and is aimed at providing a more bespoke service than larger cruise.

The hybrid vessels will be built in Germany. Worlds first robotic entertainment on the high seas for Royal Caribbean International. ABB is to provide power automation propulsion and digital systems for Lindblad Expeditions new polar cruise ship.

ABB will provide the power and propulsion for the first in a series of vessels that mark Ritz Carltons first foray into the maritime sector. The luxury polar expedition cruise ship due delivery. Arriving at the shipyard fully assembled Azipod units are simply plugged straight into the vessels hull.

The company says that each cruise ship will be powered by twin Azipod units with part of the order including the largest and most powerful Azipod propulsion units ever to be installedRead More. ABB has been closely involved in the propulsion automation and control of cruise ships for decades and we are seeing a clear trend. With this project China is making great strides in cruise shipbuilding.

The new cruise ship propulsion systems ABB Azipods XO below photo are more fuel-efficient than traditional systems also providing better maneuverability maximizing speed reducing bad emissions which as a whole optimizes ships performance and enhances passenger safety.
