ExxonMobil, through its Mobil lubrication brand, has released its new MobilGard M420 oil for medium-speed marine engines.
Denne 20BN olie har blevet grundigt testet til brug med de brændstoffer med lavt svovlindhold, der er nødvendige for det globale 0,5 % svovlloft, der indføres af Den Internationale Søfartsorganisation (IMO). Under det nye loft – som træder i kraft den 1. januar 2020 – skal alle skibe enten bruge brændstof med lavt svovlindhold eller installere en scrubber for at reducere emissionerne fra brændstof, der ikke overholder kravene.
In addition to meeting the changing needs of marine engines, like all advanced lubricants from Mobil distributors, the new oil boasts exceptional performance even under challenging conditions. By maximising the life of vital wear surfaces and extending component life, the new oil can help minimise the costs of maintenance and operation.
What’s more, thanks to its low BN, MobilGard 420 is also suitable for use in engines fuelled by liquefied natural gas, so a single lubricant can be used in dual-fuel engines regardless of which fuel is currently preferred.
A global marine equipment builder manager at ExxonMobil, Steve Walker, said about the new lubricant:
“This addition to our Mobilgard M Series range of oils will support vessel operators’ transition to a low-sulphur future. Used in combination with Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis, Mobilgard M420 can help ensure operators safely and efficiently comply with the IMO sulphur cap, without compromising on vessel performance.”
Mobilgard M420 is expected to be available at major hub ports like Rotterdam from early August, with a subsequent rollout to other ports.
