In a recent ABB press release Kalevi Tervo, Global Program Manager of ABB Marine & Ports said, “We at ABB take great pride in introducing new technologies to the industry to improve safety and add value for our customers. Marine Braking Assistance is a good example of a co-creation project where we, in close collaboration with Royal Caribbean Group, developed a solution that makes a real operational difference,”
The ABB Ability™ Marine Braking Assistance helps ships minimize stopping time and distance, without compromizing steering capability. Furthermore, Automated braking saves wear and tear on critical ship control systems.
