New Arctic course

ABB has launched a new Arctic course for deck officers in response to strong demand from the ice-going vessel segment. The course has been developed in co-operation with customers to provide deep understanding of the operational principles of diesel-electric Azipod vessels, taking into account vessel safety, environmental and economical requirements and operational efficiency and maintenance needs. “Demand from the ice-going segment has been strong for some time,” said Juha Koskela, managing director of ABB’s marine and ports business unit.
