Azipods to propel Lindblad's first polar voyages

摘要

The selection of twin 3.5MW ABB Azipod DO units for 2017-ordered Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic vessel has proved doubly pleasing for ABB. The supplier reports the contract as providing a breakthrough for its newest Azipod propulsion unit for Lindblad's first purpose-built polar vessel, while its attributes were also responsible for converting initial talks over propulsion into an ABB shipboard systems order. ABB's scope of supply includes a range of distribution transformers and switchboards, three IMW LP motors and four tunnel thrusters.
