Products for ferries & tugboat operators

Medium-speed engines and reduction gears

Larger vessels may run medium-speed engines and reduction gears that need marine oils this catalog does not carry. Check each engine’s and gear’s specification before choosing.

Regulatory and environmental rules

Vessel operators follow Coast Guard inspection rules and, for some vessels, environmentally acceptable lubricant requirements under federal permits. Confirm any lubricant used in oil-to-sea interfaces meets those requirements.

Products by equipment.

Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.

Main engines

High-speed marine diesels list an oil category, viscosity, and TBN guidance in the engine manual; follow it for your fuel and duty.

Ship’s service generators

Generator engines run continuously underway; service by hours and sample oil.

Deck machinery and steering

Winches, capstans, ramps, and steering systems list a hydraulic fluid; over-water work may require biodegradable fluid.

Corrosion and grease

Salt spray attacks fittings; use water-resistant grease where listed.
