Abb cruise ship. Arriving at the shipyard fully assembled Azipod units are simply plugged straight into the vessels hull. 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. The yet-to-be-named ship will carry 126 passengers in luxury cabins to the polar regions.
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. In total ABB has sold over 700 Azipod units over the course of 30 years. ABB has been closely involved in the propulsion automation and control of cruise ships for decades and we are seeing a clear trend.
Azipod units can rotate 360 degrees increasing maneuverability and operating efficiency of vessel while cutting fuel consumption by up to 20 percent compared to conventional shaftline systems. Strengthening its preferred supplier position in the. ABB is to provide power automation propulsion and digital systems for Lindblad Expeditions new polar cruise ship.
ABB has announced orders valued at more than 60 million to provide complete power and Azipod propulsion systems for two new cruise ships to be built by Meyer Werft for Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. With this project China is making great strides in cruise shipbuilding. Over 100 cruise ships have Azipods fitted.
Whether it is the largest cruise. Overall ABBs technology will boost the performance of the ship while increasing passenger comfort fuel efficiency and lowering emissions. ABBs Azipods Ordered for 100th Cruise Ship.
The hybrid vessels will be built in Germany. 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. Options for Azipod propulsion now span 15MW to 22MW.
