Maersk Minder takes to sea on hybrid-electric propulsion upgraded with Yokogawa mass flow meters for monitoring the fuel consumption, and data collection unit supplied by Insatech Marine.
On 31st March 2022, Maersk Minder docked at Fitjar Mekanisk Verksted in Norway, ready for the installation of a battery: a container-based hybrid power system built by Wärtsila. At the same time Maersk chose to replace the existing mass flow meters with Coriolis mass flow meters from Yokogawa, supplied by Insatech Marine, as the original supplied Coriolis flow meters failed in operation in the demanding environment. Insatech Marine was chosen, since Insatech provides complete monitoring solutions which includes Yokogawa’s stabile Coriolis mass flow meters, which had shown its worth in other projects in the group.
