ABB Marine business is based on electric propulsion
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
1930s ABB s first electric propulsion systems
1950s-70s DC technology based propulsion systems
for ice breakers
1983 ABB delivered the worlds 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

Major changes over a vessels life time
New regulations, new technology, a new generation

Key business drivers:

Energy efficiency
Safety and environmental
sustainability
Oil and gas exploration in
offshore, and especially in
deep water and arctic areas
Global increase in container
transportation

Market Growth
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
