Oldendorff Carriers has signed a deal to fit new U-type scrubbers to two capesize newbuildings.

The deal was signed at Nor-Shipping by Oldendorff’s director of innovation, Torsten Barenthin, and Yara chief sales officer Aleksander Askeland.

This is the German bulker giant’s first use of Yara’s U-type devices, but it already has other Yara scrubbers on 96 ships in the fleet.
