Shell Marine has increased the availability of its Shell Shipcare range of ship maintenance products first launched at the Port of Singapore last year. The service is now available at a further seven ports around the world, namely Amsterdam, Busan, Fujairah, Houston, Kobe, Rotterdam and Shanghai. Shell Marine customers have a single point of contact for lubricants and maintenance products in these ports, and the service supports a variety of vessel types from fishing boats and cruise ships to tankers. It comprises a range of treatment chemicals for boilers, main-engine cooling water, evaporators and fuel, as well as dispersants and general cleaners such as hydrochloric descaler, carbon remover and solvent degreaser. The portfolio further includes a range of test kits for determining chemical concentrations in water and meters for measuring critical parameters such as pH and conductivity. The company says that, when used effectively, the Shell Shipcare range helps keep machinery in good working condition by preventing corrosion and the formation of unwanted deposits. This can help fleet operators reduce total operational costs and protect the reliability and integrity of critical equipment.
