Fortunately, our recommended range of marine greases offer tailored solutions to the challenges faced by the marine industry, empowering marine operators to overcome operational hurdles and achieve their lubrication objectives. Our Regional Sales Manager, Le Roux Visser, shares some insight below.

Challenges in the Marine Industry:

1) Environmental Compliance: Stringent regulations govern emissions and pollution from marine operations, requiring eco-friendly lubricants to ensure compliance.

Our solution: Environmentally friendly marine greases that meet regulatory standards while providing superior lubrication, helping marine operators achieve compliance with environmental regulations and reduce emissions and pollution from operations.

2) Corrosion Prevention: The corrosive marine environment accelerates wear and corrosion on critical equipment components, leading to increased maintenance costs and downtime.

Our solution: Corrosion-resistant marine greases that protect critical equipment components from saltwater exposure and atmospheric corrosion. This allows marine operators to minimise equipment downtime and maintenance costs with enhanced corrosion protection and extended service intervals.

3) Extreme Operating Conditions: Marine vessels operate in diverse weather conditions, from freezing cold to extreme heat, necessitating lubricants that can maintain performance and protection.

Our solution: High-performance greases with exceptional thermal stability and load-carrying capacity for reliable operation in extreme conditions. Ensure reliable equipment performance in diverse weather conditions, leading to increased operational efficiency and productivity.

4) Equipment Compatibility: Compatibility issues with lubricants can lead to damage and performance issues in marine equipment, highlighting the need for versatile and compatible lubrication solutions.

Our solution: Versatile greases compatible with a wide range of materials used in marine equipment, ensuring seamless operation and integrity.

5) Extended Service Intervals: Frequent maintenance and lubrication disrupt operations and increase costs, prompting the need for lubricants that can extend service intervals without compromising performance.
