Abb Cruise Ship
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.
Abb cruise ship. 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. The yet-to-be-named ship will carry 126 passengers in luxury cabins to the polar regions. ABB has been closely involved in the propulsion automation and control of cruise ships for decades and we are seeing a clear trend.
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. 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. 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.
4 ABB Shore-to-ship power ABB Shore-to-ship power Onboard the ship ABB has been a technology pioneer in High Voltage installations for marine applications. 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. The luxury polar expedition cruise ship due delivery.
Footnote 1 Shore-to-ship power is also known as cold ironing onshore power supply alternative. 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. ABB is to provide power automation propulsion and digital systems for Lindblad Expeditions new polar cruise ship.
Whether it is the largest 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 vessels that mark Ritz Carltons first foray into the maritime sector.
Arriving at the shipyard fully assembled Azipod units are simply plugged straight into the vessels hull. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Robotic Arts and ABB Robotics have join. Worlds first robotic entertainment on the high seas for Royal Caribbean International.
