How icebreaking is enabled with ABB's Azipod® propulsion

ABB's Azipod® propulsion system offers the power and versatility you need to keep moving in even the most extreme conditions. Ice can bring vessels of any size to a halt. Azipod® propulsion is ideal for breaking it, using the revolutionary Double Acting principle, which allows the stern to be optimized for icebreaking and the bow optimized for open water conditions.
While ships equipped with conventional rudders are difficult to steer when going astern, the Azipod® propulsor thrust allows a vessel to be steered in any direction against ice and achieve maximum icebreaking efficiency. Designed to withstand all ice loads in a range of combinations, ABB's Azipod® propulsion offers a whole new level of versatility to vessels navigating the world’s extremes.
