The benefits of using premium marine engine lubricants
The use of high specification marine engine lubricants can have a significant impact on the efficiency and performance of a ship’s engines.
The benefits of synthetic lubricants
The marine sector has been slow to change to synthetic lubricants, perhaps due to the higher up-front cost. But using synthetic instead of mineral oil can lead to increases in vessel productivity, as well as better fuel economy, far outweighing the initial oil cost.
How good oil analysis can save you money
As lockdown eases and transport demand grows, the marine industry is among those facing significant increases in the cost of lubricants. But with one simple step you can reduce your overall oil cost, make major savings on fuel, and deliver huge improvements in vessel productivity.
Reducing Operating Costs by Extending Oil Drain Intervals
The goal of Oil Drain Interval Optimization is to achieve the lowest total operating cost, without making any concessions on engine operation or reliability. The cheapest oil per litre may not represent the best solution when taking into account all the other factors involved.
