Focus topics

Maritime is electrifying

As the global population grows, so do the demands placed upon the maritime industry. Increased operations mean increased emissions, and every minute travelled over distance and every minute staying at port has a cost.  ABB helps save fuel, emissions, and ultimately costs every mile and minute. This is how we lead decarbonization on the sea.
