With ABB being closely involved in the propulsion, automation and control of superyachts for decades, we are seeing a clear trend: owners are increasingly opting for more sustainable and efficient technologies. Such forward-thinking owners are often identifying greater automation of shipboard decision-making tasks beneficial for vessel performance.
ABB's role in developing energy-efficient and greener solutions for the cruise and ship market is often seen as an attraction by superyacht owners, especially as the arrival of smaller expedition cruise ships has coincided with the emergence of exploration yachts. ABB has been playing a central part in the development of pioneering zero-emission solutions for the maritime industry - including fuel cell systems for passenger vessels.
