Oldendorff Carriers has awarded a contract to the UK’s Datum Electronics to supply shaft power torque meters to optimise its ship performance monitoring systems.

As part of the contract, Datum Electronics will deliver and install its Datum Shaft Power Meter systems, which will be integrated with Oldendorff’s existing ship performance monitoring systems.

Installation of the shaft power torque meters is set to allow Oldendorff to support its strategy of reducing fuel consumption and emissions from its vessel fleet.

Oldendorff is also implementing fleet and ship performance monitoring systems in order to lower the company’s carbon footprint, as well as enhance the technical and operational efficiency of the vessel fleet.

More than 90% of the vessels owned by Oldendorff are environmentally friendly.

“In addition, Datum Electronics will install its Ship Torsion Meters on board the entire fleet of vessels owned by Oldendorff.”

Oldendorff Carriers junior projects manager Felix Lemke said: “For us, the big advantage of the Datum Torque meter is its modular design. As the rotor belt’s size is adjustable, it can fit on any size of shaft, which gives the system great flexibility.
