New ideas hatched for Azipods

摘要

Much development has been done and improvements made to the Azipod since first deliveries. However, ABB says that the presently available Azipod should be considered as "a first generation product", developed through design evolution rather than revolution. In order to provide an optimised solution for each customer, the operating models of system deliveries have been project-based, where maintaining uniform operation and design patterns has been "challenging", according to the supplier.
