Marine advisory and automation system to improve fuel efficiency

With the recent acquisition of Amarcon, and the official launch of Advisory Systems during SMM in Hamburg, Germany, earlier this month, ABB says it is now able to provide a vertically integrated power and automation set of solutions that will help shipowners increase productivity and safety of vessel operation while minimising fuel consumption and environmental impacts.
ABB’s new ship advisory and automation systems suite incorporate a full range of vessel information and control technology that allows ship operators to monitor and calculate the optimum utilisation of power on board. The recent acquisition of Amarcon complements this portfolio and strengthens ABB’s long-term growth strategy, the power and automation technology group says.
