Destined for installation on board one of the highest profile cruise ship deliveries scheduled for 2016, the latest Azipod XO podded propulsion recently departed from the ABB factory in Helsinki. The unit, which commands 20.5 MW of power, has been transfered from ABB’s Vuosaari Harbour plant to the dockside for loading, bound for Meyer Werft, Papenburg. It will be installed on one of two newbuildings due for delivery from the German yard in fall 2016. ABB is delivering the complete electrical power plant and propulsion systems for the two new cruise ships.
