Thrusters & Propulsors

ABB has secured a €157 million contract to supply power, propulsion and digital solutions for Genting Hong Kong’s six ‘Universal Class’ vessels that will bring global hotel brands to sea.

The final vessel in a fifteen-ship series has entered service for the Yamal LNG project ahead of schedule, powered by ABBs Azipod propulsion system.

Following the latest deliveries of Schottel Rudder EcoPellers for Norwegian ferries, the azimuth thruster has now entered the tanker segment to enable maximum manoeuvrability.

Schottel has supplied propulsion units for Duisburg waterway and shipping authority’s (WSA Duisburg) new diving bell ship.

Schottel has announced the safe delivery of the one thousandth Rudderpropeller type SRP 460, making it the most successful azimuth thruster worldwide.

Wärtsilä thrusters have helped ensure successful sea trials for the world’s largest semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV).

ABB has entered a new market segment with an order to install its Azipod electric propulsion on board two dry bulk carriers from Germany’s largest bulk carrier company, Oldendorff Carriers.

A Norwegian Coast Guard vessel has become the first ever ABB Azipod-powered ship to reach the North Pole.
