Waste heat recovery explained

Learn how the recovered energy, which is typically up to 4% of the main propulsion shaft’s power output, is converted for electricity.


ABB leads with technology for greener shipping on World Maritime Day

September 29 is World Maritime Day, spearheaded by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year's theme is 'New technologies for greener shipping'. ABB's OCTOPUS Marine Advisory System connects energy storage, shore-to-ship power and other new energy sources and functionalities to the power and propulsion plant. ABB’s pioneer autonomous technologies expand the capabilities of automating complex maneuvers, avoiding potentially dangerous situations, utilizing digital technologies and artificial intelligence, and helping shipping companies make better decisions.
