\nfeature a trio of the largest and most powerful Azipod propulsion units ever
\nsupplied for ships operating in ice.<\/p>\n
\npower of 51 MW \u2013 68,400 BHP \u2013 enabling the vessels to navigate safely through
\nice up to 2.1-meter thick. In similar conditions, comparable ships without this
\nABB system would require icebreaker assistance.<\/p>\n
\nis in a submerged pod outside the ship hull, can rotate 360 degrees to boost
\nmanoeuvrability, which is particularly crucial for vessels operating in ice.
\nThe new LNG carriers will be classed to ARC7 \u2013 the highest ice class rating for
\nmerchant vessels.<\/p>\n
\nleading-edge technology for the 15-ship series servicing the Yamal LNG project
\n\u2013 one of the largest orders ever for ABB Marine & Ports, completed in 2019.<\/p>\n
\nservice Arctic LNG 2 \u2013 one of the largest industrial projects in the Arctic \u2013
\nand will each have the capacity to transport 170,000 cbm of LNG.<\/p>\n
\nover 90 icebreakers or ice-going vessels with Azipod propulsion spans ranging
\nfrom 1MW to 22MW.<\/p>\n
