Azipod Gearless Propulsion

More profitable business with reliable


and efficient operations

Azipod State-of-the-art gearless


steerable propulsion system

Versatile Azipod propulsion can


be fitted to most ship types. It is
the designed solution for global
maritime operations delivering high
reliability and improved operational
and environmental efficiency.
For more than 25 years, Azipod
propulsion has set electric propulsion
trends. Azipod propulsion has made
vessel operations safer and more
environmentally friendly, has reduced
vessel life cycle costs and has
given both merchant shipping and
offshore operators increased vessel
performance. Azipod propulsion also
enables several benefits and costefficiency for shipyards and the whole
shipbuilding process.
Today, more than 5,000MW of Azipod
power has been ordered for various

ship types. The electric drive motor


of Azipod propulsion is located in a
submerged pod outside the ship hull.
A ship with Azipod propulsion does not
need rudders, long shaft lines or stern
transversal thrusters.

Azipod CRP (Contra-Rotating Propeller) is the


designed solution for fast ferries and provides
fuel savings of up to 20% compared to a
conventional propulsion system

How Azipod improves


your business:
Up to 20% more energy efficiency
With reduced fuel consumption and
life cycle costs.
Environmentally friendly propulsion
system
Lower fuel consumption reduces
emissions. A minimal need for
lubricants reduces potential leaks.
Azipod propulsion also allows the use
of biodegradable lubricants.
Reliable solution
Simple gearless design and heavyduty tests before solution acceptance.
Safe and maneuverable
Even the largest vessels can be
maneuvered with decimeter accuracy.
Narrow harbors can be entered
quickly and safely.

Azipod increases ship availability to another level. Vessels


equipped with Azipod have a >99% availability on average.

Our broad offering of gearless Azipod


propulsion units and thrusters
Azipod propulsion covers propulsion unit needs from
1.5MW up to more than 22MW. With single, twin, triple,
multiple or hybrid propulsion unit combinations, all
propulsion power requirements can be fulfilled in an
energy and cost efficient way. The nozzle versions are
available for high thrust applications. Ice-strengthened
versions are available for heavy arctic or icebreaking
operations.

Reliable and efficient power for several


ship types
Azipod propulsion has created
tangible fuel savings for ship
operators, opened new seaways in
the arctic seas and enabled huge
ships to enter narrow harbors with
agile, safe and fast maneuvering. It
has gathered operational experience
in demanding conditions in hot
tropical waters and freezing arctic
environments with over 12 million
operation hours.

High reliability and reduced fuel


consumption
Operational reliability and lower fuel
consumption bring numerous benefits
for most ship types.
High performance in demanding
conditions
Ice-going cargo vessels equipped with
Azipod propulsion can operate safely and
efficiently, even without icebreaker assistance.
Remarkably improved onboard comfort
Lower propeller vibration and noise

levels improve passenger comfort and


create a comfortable work environment
for the crew.
Excellent station keeping
characteristics
Azipod propulsion is good choice for
offshore DP vessels like OSVs, OCVs,
and drilling ships and rigs.
Save space onboard
Azipod propulsion saves space inside
the vessel hull for greater design flexibility
that enables more cargo onboard.

Flexibility and cost efficiency to


shipbuilding

Azipod propulsion brings clear


design, constructional and
installation benefits for the shipyard.
Most vessels with Azipod propulsion
can be built at the same cost level
as a corresponding vessel with a
conventional electric propulsion
system with a shaft.

Improved freedom of ship general


arrangement
General arrangement can be made more
suitable for the shipyards construction
process, and more efficient ship design
and increased payload can be achieved.

Easy noise and vibration


management
Due to the inherent characteristics of
the electric propulsion and the gearless
Azipod thruster design, noise and
vibration management is easy.

Straightforward and simple installation


The pod unit motor, shaft line,
bearings, seals and propeller in one
unit is easy to install, reducing
installation work compared to a
conventional shaft line system or a
mechanical z-drive.

Late stage installation


The Azipod propulsion unit can be
installed in the vessel at a very late
stage just before ship launching.
This means improved cash flow for the
builder as the parts are delivered to the
yards right on time.

ABB Marine and Ports consults ship owners, ship builders


and ship designers at the concept design phase to get
the best advantage of Azipod propulsion concept.
