ABB Marine Introduces Dynafin Whale Propulsion Mimetic...

[Fred Bloggs]

\"An independent study of ABB Dynafin™ from OSK-ShipTech A/S of a passenger vessel design equipped with different propulsion solutions has verified savings in propulsion energy consumption of up to 22 percent compared to conventional shaftline configuration. This can deliver significant savings in fuel consumption and help to avoid emissions. As part of an electric propulsion power system, the concept is also fully compatible with zero-emission battery and fuel cell technologies.\"

Same group advanced the Azipod quite some time ago, and it has been very successful. There\'s no small ship limit to that technology. The ones installed on cruise ships are 17MW synchronous motors powered by a 6600 V generator system. Cruise ships require multiple pods.
