Pods for a rising market

The design and operating benefits con- ferred by podded electric drives are finding increasing favor throughout the industry, as manifested in the growing application list involving cruise ships. icebreakers, offshore vessels, specialized tankers, and, most recently, RoRo passenger ferry and ice-going crude oil carrier new- buildings. So as to better maintain the business momentum and broaden the market reach for the technology, Finnish electrical engineering innovator ABB

PODS

Industry is promoting a new Azipod- derived design bred specifically for smaller vessel types.

While the main Azipod series has been engineered for unit powers up to 25-

MW, the recently unveiled Compact

Azipod has been conceived for applica- tions in the range from 400 kW to five

THRUSTER SYSTEMS

When Space, Weight or Cost is a Problem,

Technology Takes Over!

You can take a large amount of bridge control and monitoring functions and shrink them down to 8j'2 x 11 inch sheets of technology, solving the space problem associated with bridge design.

It also lets you take advantage of an ABS, USCG approved data buss that eliminates the cable runs to the bridge while still controlling and monitoring all systems assigned.

The process is as easy as faxing us an 8^2 x 11 inch sheet of control and monitoring items and we will provide a return fax of a panel design which does it all in a fraction of the space, weight, cable and labor associated with the traditional method. Two wires to the panel shown does it all. s
