Conventional mechanical propulsion
•
Diesel engines, gearboxes and controllable
pitch propellers for propulsion
•
Separate auxiliary engines for electricity
generation for ship use
•
Still main propulsion concept in cargo
vessels
Electric propulsion
•
Diesel-Generator sets to produce electricity to
common grid for propulsion and ship use
•
Variable speed drives to rotate fixed pitch
propellers
•
Commonly used in Cruise vessels, LNG
tankers, Off-shore vessels and Ice breaking
vessels due to reduced fuel oil consumption,
lower emissions and increased pay-load
Innovation is part of our tradition
New ideas and proven performance
1930’s
ABB’ s first electric propulsion systems
1950’s-70’s DC technology based propulsion systems
for ice breakers
1983
ABB delivered the world’s first AC electric
propulsion system, which remains the
leading technology today
1987
First order of electric propulsion system for
cruise liners, which lead to electric
propulsion penetration to many new ship
types
1990
Delivery of the first Azipod propulsion
system to water way service vessel “Seili”
1995
Breakthrough order for cruise vessel with
Azipod propulsion (over 200 units in
operation today)
2011
ABB launched onboard DC Grid

The market for electrical propulsion will grow significantly

Electric propulsion has become
the technology of choice for
several vessel segments due
to the fuel efficiency and low
emissions.

Electric propulsion will emerge
as the solution for new
merchant vessel segments,
e.g.: container, dry cargo
vessels.

Electrical or hybrid propulsion
vessels are projected to
represent 20% of vessel
numbers in 2020
