The company will supply complete electrical systems for the ships and the delivery includes power generation and distribution systems, electric propulsion as well as the propulsion control systems, and related engineering services.

Scheduled to be commissioned from 2012 through 2015, the ships will be used by several major oil and gas industry end customers for transporting LNG.

ABB claims that its proven solutions for electrical powered LNGs provide these vessels with a high level of redundancy and reliability, in order for the vessels to be safely operated even with potential failures occurring.
