Abb Cruise Ship

ABB has been awarded a 157 million contract to supply power propulsion and digital solutions for six cruise ships from Genting Hong Kong.

Abb cruise ship. Worlds first robotic entertainment on the high seas for Royal Caribbean International. The luxury polar expedition cruise ship due delivery. 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.

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. The units ability to turn in all directions increases cruise ships access to ports without tug assistance. 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.

Strengthening its preferred supplier position in the. 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. With this project China is making great strides in cruise shipbuilding.

As such it will feature one of the highest ice-classes and will. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Robotic Arts and ABB Robotics have join. 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 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 safety and reliability at the forefront ABB has developed a complete compact shore-to-ship power solution for ships that is well suited for both newbuild and retrofit projects. 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.

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 ships.

The new vessel will be built by Ulstein Verft and will join sister ship National Geographic Endurance in service in 2021.
