Abb Cruise Ship
The yet-to-be-named ship will carry 126 passengers in luxury cabins to the polar regions.
Abb cruise ship. SIX Swiss Ex is a pioneering technology leader in electrification products robotics and motion industrial automation and power grids serving customers in. However dockside air quality and noise are coming under regulatory scrutiny. The luxury polar expedition cruise ship due delivery.
Pre-engineered solutions based on ABBs ACS6000 medium-voltage converter family. 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. 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.
The units ability to turn in all directions increases cruise ships access to ports without tug assistance. Over 100 cruise ships have Azipods fitted. The new vessel will be built by Ulstein Verft and will join sister ship National Geographic Endurance in service in 2021.
Overall ABBs technology will boost the performance of the ship while increasing passenger comfort fuel efficiency and lowering emissions. Marine electrification specialist ABB has secured a US150m order to equip five new-build cruise vessels from Fincantieri with its Azipod electric propulsion system. 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.
As such it will feature one of the highest ice-classes and will. 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. Worlds first robotic entertainment on the high seas for Royal Caribbean International.
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. ABB has been closely involved in the propulsion automation and control of cruise ships for decades and we are seeing a clear trend. 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.
