ABB Ability™ Marine Pilot Control

ABB will deliver an integrated electric propulsion system and advanced vessel control technology for Crowley’s pioneering eWolf tug, built for sustainable and safe operations at the Port of San Diego.

ABB, together with Singaporean shipyard Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M), has successfully carried out South Asia’s first remote joystick control of a tugboat in the busy Port of Singapore.

As vessels become more electric, digital and connected than ever before, ABB equips seafarers with existing solutions that augment their skillsets and enhance the overall safety and efficiency of operations.

Moving towards increasingly autonomous operations require a “sense-decide-act” cycle, where a captain receives information, then plans the next move and acts. This, in turn, requires a solution that is more than a regular dynamic positioning (DP) system.

Ice-class passenger ferry Suomenlinna II was remotely piloted through test area near Helsinki harbor, proving that human oversight of vessels from anywhere is achievable with today’s technologies

Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s first “anti-cruise” luxury vessel will benefit from a full integration of ABB’s propulsion, automation and dynamic positioning package with Raytheon Anschütz’s navigation system.
