Azipod® D for open water is a second-generation compact size Azipod® propulsion series covering power range from 1 MW to 7.5 MW. Azipod® D technology combines best features of the original Azipod® C series and the high-power Azipod® XO series. Azipod® D is the most efficient azimuthing propulsor in its power range and has excellent course-keeping characteristics. Based on its gearless construction and high performance, Azipod® DO provides cost-efficient, reliable and energy saving operations for cruise, ferry, offshore and special vessels. The high performance of the thruster is achieved by a unique hybrid cooling of the propulsion motor combining a direct cooling to the surrounding sea water and an active air cooling system. Azipod® D is also available with ice classes up to PC 5.

Azipod® XO is a propulsion solution for high-power open water applications. Azipod® XO is available up to 22 MW unit power and it is an ideal choice for vessels like ferries and cruise ships. Azipod® XO brings energy efficiency, excellent maneuverability and improved passenger comfort. For fast vessels, a Contra Rotating Propeller concept can be applied, leveraging an Azipod® propulsion unit and shaft line propulsion by replacing the conventional rudder with an Azipod® unit where the propellers face each other. Azipod® XO is also available with ice classes up to PC 5.

The Azipod® mid-range podded gearless propulsion systems covers three frame sizes in the power range from 7.6 MW to 14.5 MW, and is based on the straightforward, robust and easy to maintain design principles that have seen Azipod® propulsion selected across 25 vessel types over three decades. These propulsion systems are equipped with ABB’s fourth generation permanent magnet motors that draw on proven Azipod® propulsion technologies and have been refined to further increase power and maximize efficiency.The mid-power range propulsion units have been designed for low onboard height, which allows placing the Azipod® system under the car deck of RoPax vessels, ensuring smooth loading and unloading of vehicles, as well as allowing for maximizing the deck space. The design simplicity of the propulsion system provides increased robustness and reliability, at the same time allowing for ease of maintenance.In addition to ferry and RoPax vessels, this power range will also be applicable for larger offshore construction vessels, midsize cruise ships and shuttle tankers.

HydroPOD (HPD) is an hydraulic POD. It can transfer to the propeller 500 [HP] of power output and 2500 [Nm] of torque. Its shapes, simple and clean, are the result of a specific hydrodynamic analysis to obtain the least possible resistance to advancement. HPD is made of aluminium alloy and is compact and light, only 360 [kgs] of weight. Aluminium enhances the shapes and makes the POD looking elegant at the stern, even on prestigious boats. Installation onboard is very easy, thanks to a dedicated plate, easily applicable at the stern, with all the connections (electrical and hydraulic). With its particular kinematics it can go up and down, it can be trimmed and can rotate 360 ​​degrees. All these movements can be single or multiple and occurring simultaneously, to obtain the best propeller position with various trims of the boat, obtaining the maximum propulsion efficiency.
