The German shipowner will be using Blue Water’s “BOSS Voyage Optimisation Suite” to reduce emissions through intelligent voyage optimisation, weather routing, vessel performance analysis and efficient fleet management.

“After one year of successful trials, we chose the BOSS Suite for our Cape & Baby Cape Fleet since it met our needs for optimising voyage operations, whilst enabling us to see real-time CII analytics for the vessels in one platform,” said Oldendorff Managing Director Capt. Dexter Jeremiah.

“The level of customisation and development of advance voyage monitoring tools in the BOSS ecosystem with a quick turnaround has been second to none.”

 “Throughout the trials, we were presented with challenges to develop certain customized solutions for operational excellence and performance analysis, and the BOSS team turned them into opportunities to further showcase the platform’s customizability, scalability, and an eagerness to make significant changes to suit Oldendorff’s needs,” commented Capt. Kumaresh Gupta, Managing Director at BlueWater.

Oldendorff Carriers is one of the world’s leading dry bulk owners and operators, operating about 700 vessels around the world.
