Reduced emissions
The shipping industry is facing tightened environmental
regulations, as emission limits are being imposed worldwide.
IMO has proposed emission limits that start in 2016 for ships
operating inside ECAs (emission controlled areas). Europe has
also launched emission limits for ships operating inside ECAs
beginning in 2016. ABB motors and generators offer significant environmental benefits and high efficiency to meet these
tightened regulations.
High motor efficiency
ABB motors offer maximum energy efficiency. Increased efficiency reduces the power required to operate a motor. Reduced
power requirements allow use of smaller generators and less
fuel. These advantages combine to reduce the customers initial investment cost and reduce ongoing operating expenses.
High efficiency motors, combined with variable speed drives
provide optimum speed and torque control. This helps customers in the marine industry to further reduce energy consumption, operating expenses and harmful emission levels.
A tradition of innovation
Energy savings
The ship will save approx. 5 percent of fuel consumption by
using frequency converters with high efficiency motors for
auxiliary equipment such as pumps, compressors, winches,
cranes, etc. The ship will be environmentally more green.

Modernization
ABB offers modernization and upgrading of all electrical
rotating motors and generators.
Training
The ABB Motors and Generators provides standard and
custom courses, safety courses, onboard training, e-learning
and classroom training.
On-call services
ABB provides 24-hour telephone support, technical support
from system specialists and onboard service from our expert
service engineers.
Commissioning
Together with the project team, our service engineers are
actively involved in commissioning to ensure a successful
start-up and to get acquainted with the vessel and the future
operating crew.
Spare parts
To minimize downtime of any critical function, ABB provides
spare parts recommendations, local spare parts handling and
fast global shipping.
Maintainability
ABB marine motors and generators are designed for fast
repairs and maintenance. For example, the rotor of a large
synchronous motor can be repaired on site. All services are
backed up by a truly global service network.
Certification
ABB products are certified by global classification societies.
For example, our motors and generators are classified for
marine application, along with compatible variable speed
drives compatible with the latest international standards.
ABB continuously monitors these societies to ensure all our
products meet or exceed their standards.
