Pod Propulsion System

#azipod #podpropeller #electriclpropulsion
The Pod propulsion system is a modern propeller cum rudder system for rudderless ships.
ABB's AZIPOD® propulsion system is one of the most famous and advanced marine electrical pod propulsion systems which enables the ship to achieve better propulsion efficiency and helps the ship reduce fuel consumption and emission.

Most of the modern cruise ships are fitted with the electric motor-driven propulsion system in which the propeller is driven directly by a synchronous motor fitted inside the pod unit.

This allows the propeller to rotate 360 degrees for ahead and astern control of the ship.
