ABB launches medium-power Azipod targeting ferry segment

ABB has launched a new series of Azipod® propulsors available in 7.5-14.5MW, completing the gap between low and high-power ranges of Azipods. The new Azipod propulsion units are intended to enable ferry and RoPax operators to improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions, but are also suitable for larger offshore construction vessels, midsize cruise ships and shuttle tankers.
