Lukoil launches 100-Series BN

摘要

Lukoil Marine Lubricants based in Hamburg has developed its cylinder lubricating oil Lukoil Navigo 100 MCL. With this has come the approval from Wartsila and MAN for the oil to be used for their two stroke main engines. Lukoil started its research work on it latest oil more than three years ago with the objective to develop a cylinder oil with a Base Number of 100mg KOH/g. Stefan Claussen, technical and marketing director in the Hamburg office, explained the background for this development goal: "In the past few years, the power, consumption and emissions of ship engines have been optimised more and more. This has resulted in engines with an extremely long stroke, which are operated at lower speeds than before."
