Delivered last month by China’s Jiangnang Shipyard (Group) Co, the 21,000+ TEU COSCO Shipping Universe has broken the record for China’s largest containership and is equipped with ABB turbochargers to assure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
ABB Turbocharging is a key strategic partner for COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd with ABB turbochargers selected for all main and auxiliary engines across all six 21,000 TEU Universe containerships set to be delivered by 2019. Hundreds of ABB turbochargers are in operation across the extensive COSCO SHIPPING Lines fleet.
