Lubrication Solutions for Marine
Lubricants are essential in the marine industry. They maintain the reliability and efficiency of machinery and equipment in harsh operating conditions.
Lubrication in marine engines, especially modern two-stroke and four-stroke engines, is of course critical. It ensures smooth operation, reduces wear, and prevents component failure. But due to demanding operating conditions, fuel quality, and environmental regulations various challenges arise.
Cold corrosion is a common phenomenon in the cylinders of two-stroke marine engines, particularly those running on low-sulfur fuel or in conditions where engines operate at lower temperatures. It’s primarily caused by the condensation of acidic compounds like sulfuric acid, on the cylinder liner walls. Using our highly advanced additive technology Logan are able to mitigate this cold corrosion and make significant savings for Marine Vessel owners.
For the good of the planet there is increasing demand for Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) designed to minimize environmental impact in marine vessels and offshore equipment. These lubricants meet strict environmental standards and are increasingly mandated for use in environmentally sensitive areas like marine protected zones and near coastlines.
Downtime in the marine industry has major consequences. It affects many aspects of operations, costs, and safety. Potential impacts include:
- Revenue Loss
- Repair and Maintenance Costs
- Port Charges
- Operational Disruptions
- Environmental Hazards
- Loss of Customer Trust
- Higher Insurance Premiums
