Abb Cruise Ship
Strengthening its preferred supplier position in the.
Abb cruise ship. Worlds first robotic entertainment on the high seas for Royal Caribbean International. The yet-to-be-named ship will carry 126 passengers in luxury cabins to the polar regions. 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.
Overall ABBs technology will boost the performance of the ship while increasing passenger comfort fuel efficiency and lowering emissions. 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. Over 100 cruise ships have Azipods fitted.
The cruise industry is increasingly opting for more sustainable and efficient technologies. The luxury polar expedition cruise ship due delivery. Azipod propulsion is a gearless steerable propulsion system where the electric drive motor is housed within a pod outside the ship hull.
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. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Robotic Arts and ABB Robotics have join. With this project China is making great strides in cruise shipbuilding.
ABB is to provide power automation propulsion and digital systems for Lindblad Expeditions new polar cruise ship. 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. The company says that each cruise ship will be powered by twin Azipod units with part of the order including the largest and most powerful Azipod propulsion units ever to be installedRead More.
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. Arriving at the shipyard fully assembled Azipod units are simply plugged straight into the vessels hull. As such it will feature one of the highest ice-classes and will.
