Boskalis orders a methanol-ready megahopper

megahopper how it works

Two leading Dutch players are again pushing dredge technology forward. Following an extensive design phase that began in 2020, Boskalis has signed a contract with Royal IHC for a giant methanol-ready trailing suction trailing suction hopper dredge (TSHD). With a hopper volume of 31,000 cubic meters (40,546 cubic yards), it’s being described by Boskalis as a megahopper.

To be built at Royal IHC’s Krimpen aan den IJssel shipyard in the Netherlands, the vessel’s energy-efficient design will feature...

ABB adds new Azipod function

A new digital solution supports crew in achieving optimum efficiency from the ABB Azipod electric propulsion system.

Called ABB Ability OptimE – Toe Angle Optimization for Propulsion, the solution automatically selects the optimal steering angle for the Azipod system. ABB says that with OptimE, further fuel savings of up to 1.5 percent can be achieved depending on a ship’s operating profile. These savings are in addition to Azipod propulsion’s ability to cut fuel consumption by up to 20 percent...

First Ever Azipod®- Powered Icebreaker to Reach the North Pole

Norwegian Coast Guard’s vessel KV Svalbard was on an international environmental research expedition when it became the first ever Azipod®-powered ship to reach the North Pole, reports ABB.

Transit through Northern Sea route

With its superior performance in the harshest of ice conditions, Azipod® propulsion has become an industry standard for icegoing vessels, enabling vessels to cross the Northern Sea route independently.

In late August 2019, Azipod® propulsion has made history, driving a...

ABB Azipod Electric Propulsion Saves Upto $1.7 Million In Fuel Costs Annually – Deltamarin

ABB Azipod® electric propulsion can save $1.7 million in fuel costs annually, study shows

An independent study by marine consultancy Deltamarin revealed that the ABB Azipod® electric propulsion system for ferries could save up to $1.7 million in annual fuel costs per vessel, strengthening Azipod® propulsion’s market-leading position in sustainable marine technologies.

By simulating a transit on seven existing ferry routes, researchers found that a ferry equipped with twin 10 MW mid-power range Azipod® units consumed less fuel compared to a similar vessel powered by a traditional...
