Infographic - 25 years Azipod
25 years of Azipod® propulsion Setting the propulsion trends for marine industry since 1990 Azipod propulsion kick-started a new era in ship propulsion. It has enabled bigger vessels and made vessel operations safer, more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Now Azipod propulsion is an industry standard for cruise vessels, ice going vessels and many other ship types. 25 years young and still developing… 1987 1995 The idea of Azipod® was invented Azipod VO for open water vessels and cruise ships 2003 Azipod® family now 2010 Contra-rotating concept for fast ferries, Azipod VC A new generation Azipod XO for open water applications XO 7–22 MW XC VO DO 1,5–7 MW VC DZ 5–17 MW 2–5 MW VI ICE CO 1,5–4,7 MW 1994 Azipod VI for ice going vessels CZ 2013 1990 The first Azipod propulsion delivery for waterway service vessel Seili 2001 Azipod C for offshore applications Azipod ICE combines the best features from Azipod VI and Azipod CO 2015 Azipod DO and DZ combines the best features from Azipod XO and Azipod CO/CZ The impact of Azipod propulsion – saves energy and our environment More than 700,000 tons of saved fuel, equivalent to the cargo of seven 240-metre tankers -35 oC 12,000,000 operating hours. This is equivalent to 1,300 years of operation experience +35 oC From demanding and harsh ice conditions to warm tropical paradises, the ships sail safely, reliably and comfortably Azipod propulsion is used in more than 20 ship types Smooth and precise sailing with Azipod propulsion onboard Big when compared to a person Small when compared to a cruise ship – Azipod propulsion gives exellent maneuverability and enables more space onboard
