MARINE FUELS, LUBRICANTS AND ADDITIVES

Mobil Introduces Revised

Version of Synthetic Lubricants

Mobil has introduced an improved version of its Mobil SHC 600 Series of synthetic lubricants for gears and bear- ings, lasting up to eight times longer than mineral oil. In addition to provid- ing longer life, the reformulated syn- thetic lubricants offer substantial anti- foam capability, as well as outstanding stability and performance in the pres- ence of water, while maintaining viscos- ity in extreme temperatures.

BP Marine's New Engine Offers

Quality and Quantity

Claiming to provide a more economic option to synthetic engine oil, BP

Marine has developed an extended drain, high performance engine oil.

The new oil, BP Energol HPDX 40 is specifically suited to marine diesel engines burning distillate fuel while operating under severe conditions — mainly fast ferries and coastal vessels.

Formulated with a new generation of additive technology, the product fills the need for a strong engine oil with a longer service drain period, sans the price penalty of synthetics.

Castrol Celebrates 100 Years

Of Service

Known for its high performance engine oils, Castrol has reached its cen- tennial year of service. With a full range of lubricants for the consumer, commer- cial, industrial and marine markets, the 100-year-old company's products have been featured on such famed vessels as the QE2, which underwent an engine refit in the late-1980s, when the ship's steam turbines were replaced with four stroke medium speed engines. Even after this upgrade was performed, Cas- trol remained as the QE2's lubricator.

A/S Dan Bunkering Eases With

Fixed Price Agreements

In response to the decline of crude oil prices and reduced volatility, A/S Dan

Bunkering has developed two programs to aid in risk minimization: Fixed prices and Fixed prices with downside oppor- tunity.

The company's Fixed price plan allows agreement of total volume for a fixed period with offers based on a fixed volume of +\-5%. With Dan Bunkering requiring a seven day notice prior to each delivery date, the agreed volume must be lifted from one particular port.

Dan Bunkering also provides fixed prices with downside opportunity. In conjunction with the former, the latter allows the client opportunities to retain benefits if prices drop below a certain level.

An advanced cash premium is paid by the client, dependent on the agreed price, time frame and outside market conditions.
