Abb cruise ship. Gang Chen general manager Shanghai Waogaoqiao Shipbuilding commented. ABB secures major contracts for five cruise ships with Fincantieri. 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.
ABB has been closely involved in the propulsion automation and control of cruise ships for decades and we are seeing a clear trend. 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. However dockside air quality and noise are coming under regulatory scrutiny.
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 is to provide power automation propulsion and digital systems for Lindblad Expeditions new polar cruise ship. Options for Azipod propulsion now span 15MW to 22MW.
With this project China is making great strides in cruise shipbuilding. Last November ABB announced five cruise newbuilds at Fincantieri will be fitted with ABB Azipod electric propulsion to cut fuel consumption at a cost to the shipyard of 150m. In total ABB has sold over 700 Azipod units over the course of 30 years.
The new vessel will be built by Ulstein Verft and will join sister ship National Geographic Endurance in service in 2021. 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. Whether it is the largest cruise.
