OVERVIEW OF ABB OFFERINGS
Join us for an in-depth exploration of how ABB is transforming the maritime and port industries through electrification, automation, and digitalization. This presentation will showcase ABB's comprehensive portfolio and strategic innovations that enable operators to achieve greater efficiency, sustainability, and operational resilience.
POWERING ELECTRIC TUGS IN THE REGION
Discover ABB's integrated solutions for electric tug propulsion. Learn how leading ports in the region are leveraging electrification to meet environmental regulations, improve air quality, and strengthen operational efficiency.
DYNAMIC POSITIONING
Dynamic positioning (DP) is essential for offshore operations, construction vessels, and specialized marine applications where precise vessel control is critical. This presentation showcases ABB's next-generation DP solution - designed to enhance operational safety, reduce crew fatigue, and maximize vessel efficiency.
BEYOND DELIVERY: DRIVING VALUE THROUGH LIFECYCLE SUPPORT
Purchasing equipment is only the beginning of the journey. The real value is realized through reliable operation, proactive maintenance, timely modernization, and trusted long-term partnership. In this session, Sharon will share how a lifecycle approach helps vessel owners and operators maximize asset availability, reduce operational risk, optimize maintenance costs, and prepare for future challenges such as digitalization, cybersecurity, and decarbonization. Drawing on practical customer experiences across the marine and offshore industries, the session will explore how lifecycle support enables safer, smarter, and more sustainable operations throughout the life of a vessel. Key areas covered will include crew competency development, structured maintenance planning, and manufacturer support — the critical pillars that underpin reliable, long-term asset performance.
HYBRID ELECTRIC PROPULSION FOR LNG VESSELS
As the LNG shipping industry faces tightening IMO regulations and growing pressure to reduce carbon footprint, hybrid-electric propulsion emerges as a game-changing solution. This presentation showcases how hybrid-electric systems combine dual-fuel engines with electric propulsion, energy storage, and advanced power management to deliver significant fuel savings, operational flexibility, and emissions reduction.
HYBRID ELECTRIC SYSTEMS
While many ferry operators face barriers to immediate full electrification, hybrid-electric retrofitting offers a practical intermediate solution. This presentation examines how integrating electric machines, energy storage systems, and intelligent power management into existing diesel-mechanical vessels can deliver significant fuel savings, reduced emissions, and lower lifecycle costs.
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES: MARINE ELECTRIFICATION WITH FUELCELL AND MCS CHARGING
The transition to zero-emission shipping demands innovative power solutions beyond conventional solutions. This session explores two emerging technologies transforming maritime operations: Discover how Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) is revolutionizing vessel charging infrastructure and Fuel Cell technology for delivering clean, efficient power vessels with extended operating range and minimal environmental impact.
