Sustainability has become a central topic in the maritime industry—not only for environmental reasons, but also to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The basis of any optimisation is accurate measurement of actual fuel consumption—even under conditions that push many metering technologies to their limits.

With the Allengra Fuel Flow Meter, operators of inland and seagoing vessels now have a measurement system designed specifically for the challenges of maritime environments. The ultrasonic sensor delivers precise, reliable readings even with pulsating fuel flows and high vibration—achieving accuracy of up to ±0.5% of reading.

The system is compatible with various fuel types, including diesel and heavy fuel oil, and is suitable both for consumption monitoring and for quality control and contamination detection. This helps prevent not only excessive emissions but also consequential damage to engines and piping.

Thanks to its compact design and CAN bus interface, the sensor can be easily integrated into existing systems or retrofitted. Real-time data transmission enables precise analysis and optimisation of consumption—an essential step towards more efficient and sustainable shipping.
