ABB power for BW Group FSRU
ABB is to supply power and electric propulsion systems to a new 174,000m3 floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co (DSME) for BW Group.
ABB’s power generation and distribution system, along with the electric propulsion system, will work in conjunction with duel-fuel diesel engine plant. Much of ABB’s scope of supply of generators, switchboards, transformers, main propulsion drives and motors will transmit performance data which will be automatically monitored from shore from collaborative operations centres.
Juha Koskela, managing director, ABB Marine and Ports, said: “The modern power system must be both efficient and connected. Our hardware will optimise fuel efficiency onboard whilst the collaborative operations centres will monitor the vessel allowing a more informed approach to maintenance.”
The membrane-type vessel is expected to be delivered by DSME’s Okpo yard in 2019.
