MARIN tests verify groundbreaking efficiency of ABB Dynafin™ propulsion

MARIN has verified that efficiency levels modeled for ABB Dynafin™ propulsion concept will convert to real-world ship performance gains, following tests at its Concept Basin in the Netherlands. The tests verify a very high open water efficiency at 0.808 for 18 knots operation for propulsion unit in 3 MW in full scale. The enhanced efficiency correlates to substantial fuel savings and significantly lower ship emissions compared to conventional propulsion set-ups.
