ABB Ltd. (ABBN.EB) said Tuesday that it has signed a contract to supply propulsion systems for China's first ever locally built cruise ship.

The contract also includes an electric power plant with generators, switchboards, distribution transformers and a propulsion-control system, the Swiss engineering group said.

ABB didn't disclose the contract's value.

The 323-meter vessel, due for delivery in 2023, can accommodate 5,000 passengers and is designed to suit the tastes of Chinese cruise travelers, ABB said.
