Shell Marine claims that arises from Indonesia’s PT Indo Container Line (SYMBOL Line) are clear proof of the expense financial savings offered by utilizing its medium-speed engine oil Shell Gadinia.
Calculations made quickly after relative tests for the line revealed that a 58% cut in lubricating substance prices is offered to symbol Line with using Shell Gadinia S3. Annualized, this amounts a financial savings of $16,900 per vessel.
“We are delighted that following the change in oil, ICON Line vessels are operating more efficiently and more cost effectively,” claims Eddie Chen, Shell Marine Regional Technical Manager,Asia Pacific “After running engines using Shell Gadinia S3 40 for a period of time, independent laboratory tests confirmed that oil-drain intervals can be extended from 1,500 hours beforehand to 3,500 hours.”
SYMBOL Line had actually been looking for a method to expand periods in between engine oil draining pipes and also replenishment on 3 of its 4 containerships without endangering on efficiency. The goal was to reduce prices while additionally enhancing functional performance and also integrity by decreasing the threat of unintended downtime.
After a technological analysis of symbol Line’s existing engine oil usage, Shell Marine’s group and also neighborhood representative PT Cahaya Samoedera Bersaudara suggested trialing Shell Gadinia S3 40.
In enhancement, claims Shell a high degree of efficiency has actually been shown in genuine procedures on a variety of various engine makes and also designs, consisting of Wärtsilä 8L20; GUY 8L21, Caterpillar MaK 8M20 and also Bergen C25:33 L6A.
Shell Gadinia S3 40 is a top quality, multi-functional diesel motor lubricating substance that is specifically fit for medium-speed major or supporting engines shedding gas with sulfur components as much as 1%, shielding versus oxidization and also thermal deterioration and also reducing lacquering. The engine oil can additionally aid expand engine life by decreasing down payment development in the piston ring belt and also cyndrical tube linings, by decreasing the threat of ring sticking and also damage.
