Group ABB has adjudicated an order from the navigation company Large Navi Veloci (GNV) in order to improve the efficiency in the consumption of edge of cruise ferry the Supreme one. The store clerk previews at the end of the next month the conclusion of the installation of new electric motors to high yield (IE3) and drives to variable frequency for the ventilation of the engine room of the main engines and the generating engines of the ship. Moreover ABB will supply the system of automation developed on platform AC800M, equipped from a panel touch screen in order to afford to the operator the management and the control of the ventilation. The field sensors take part integrating of the project also, as the temperature and pressure meters, that they will be put in service inside of engine rooms of the ferry.

"With ABB - Ariodante Valeri has commented, general manager of GNV - our company completes another step towards the environmental respect and the control of the emissions through the reduction of the consumption and the optimization of the edge technologies, for a more ecological and more efficient navigation. The environmental contribution that derives from smaller the consumption and the smaller injurious emissions - has added - it pushes to us towards politics of adaptation to more rigorous environmental standards, also in naval within".
