ABB has signed a formal agreement with Wuchang Ship Building Group in China to deepen their cooperation, particularly on developing greener, digital ships.
Wuchang Ship Building Group is one of the most important shipyards in China with experience in building research and offshore vessels.
The partnership will support the Ship Building Group in the construction of greener, more technologically advanced ships by utilising ABB’s power and propulsion expertise and their software.
“Chinese shipyards are diversifying their portfolios and ABB’s long history of working in the icebreaking and cruise sectors is particularly relevant to China’s ship builders,” said Alf Kare Adnanes, head of ABB’s Marine and Ports business in China.
“This agreement is a result of our commitment to the Chinese market and it will lead to a new generation of greener and smarter vessels being built in China,” said Juha Koskela, Managing Director of ABB’s Marine and Ports business.
