In Germany, Oldendorff Carriers announced a new partnership with the University of Strathclyde to establish a Glasgow-based research centre focused on developing innovative technologies for decarbonising the shipping industry.
Oldendorff Carriers’ Director of Research & Development Dr. Torsten Barenthin said, “Frustrated by the slow development of significant decarbonisation technologies, Oldendorff feels compelled to invest in academic research with the aim of moving the dry bulk industry forward.”
Research areas will include smart, energy-efficient operations, digitalisation, and AI-supported decision-making, alongside bio-inspired designs for emission-free vessels. The centre will also focus on improving human performance at sea and aligning industry practices with the net-zero targets set by the International Maritime Organisation.
