INCREASED EFFICIENCY, SMOOTHER OPERATION AND LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS
Towboat operators are facing new market challenges including new Tier 4 regulations and increased CAPEX costs for new builds. This has led to heightened demand for improved OPEX costs, as well as advanced technology and infrastructure that ensures vessel longevity and reliability.
We have worked closely with towboat owners to understand the demands of this unique market and create flexible but reliable solutions. Our solutions are designed to better meet the needs of a varied operating profile. With ABB, owners can standardize engines through multiple horsepower vessels, and, due to ABB automation, can plan engine maintenance on their own schedule. Flexible design for both a Z-Drive and conventional propeller vessels, we are pioneering the next generation of towboat for more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable operations.
