Remote support and communication in combination with expanded data analysis, provided by the System of remote diagnostics of ABB Ability (ABB Ability Remote Diagnostics System), will increase safety of the vessel and efficiency of its work, and in case of fault will help to detect and eliminate it quickly.

The system of electric motion Azipod which equips the Christophe De Margeri gas carrier became an important factor of successful pass of the vessel on the route SMP in severe ice conditions. The system of remote diagnostics of ABB allows crews of our courts to expect round the clock coastal support that it promotes increase in efficiency and safety of operation of courts, told Igor Tonkovidov, the CEO - the chairman of the board of PJSC Sovcomflot.
