Abb Cruise Ship

Each of the 286-metre-long vessels will be powered by twin units of ABBs Azipod electric propulsion system with a total capacity of 30 MW.

Abb cruise ship. Azipod propulsion the ABB technology that has become the industry standard in the cruise segment since its launch in 1990 has secured its 100th cruise ship order winning a contract for powering the worlds first electric hybrid icebreaker. SIX Swiss Ex is a pioneering technology leader in electrification products robotics and motion industrial automation and power grids serving customers in. With this project China is making great strides in cruise shipbuilding.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Robotic Arts and ABB Robotics have join. ABB has been closely involved in the propulsion automation and control of cruise ships for decades and we are seeing a clear trend. Marine electrification specialist ABB has secured a US150m order to equip five new-build cruise vessels from Fincantieri with its Azipod electric propulsion system.

In total ABB has sold over 700 Azipod units over the course of 30 years. 76 ABB REVIEW UNIVERSAL CONNECTIONS Plugging in cruise liners and container vessels At berth a large ship can consume up to 20 MVA usually supplied by its diesel engines. Azipod propulsion is a gearless steerable propulsion system where the electric drive motor is housed within a pod outside the ship hull.

Moreover the ships energy storage system supplied and integrated by ABB is the largest ever delivered to a vessel of its kind at almost five megawatt hours allowing the engines to be switched off for silent emissions-free cruising. Worlds first robotic entertainment on the high seas for Royal Caribbean International. The hybrid vessels will be built in Germany.

ABB is to provide power automation propulsion and digital systems for Lindblad Expeditions new polar cruise ship. The ABB order for the first ship was booked in 2011 and for the second vessel in the first quarter of 2012. The new vessel will be built by Ulstein Verft and will join sister ship National Geographic Endurance in service in 2021.

The yet-to-be-named ship will carry 126 passengers in luxury cabins to the polar regions. 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. With ABBs shore-to-ship power con-nection a large cruise ship can cut fuel consumption by up to 20 metric tons and reduce CO 2 emissions by 60 metric tons dur-ing a 10-hour stay in port.
