Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Marine Lubricants

Marine lubricants are used in propulsion engines for both large deep-water vessels and small pleasure vessels. These lubricants can also be used for power generation. The type of engine in the vessel determines the type of lubricant that is required.

Four-cycle engines use trunk piston engine oil. This type of engine has a common sump for the crankcase and cylinder. Two-cycle engines use a marine cylinder lubricant for injection into the cylinder and separate oil is used in the crankcase.

Many companies are involved in the research and production of marine lubricants. Chevron, ExxonMobil and Castrol all produce lubricants for marine use. Special lubricants are also required for shipboard equipment, as the oil needs to withstand fresh or salt-water exposure.

Research and improvements by the marine lubricant industry are leading to more environmentally friendly products. Lubricants are being designed to be biodegradable and have fewer toxic effects on the marine environment. With the possibilities for oil leakage in the marine industry, using newer types of lubricants can reduce the risk of fines against a shipping company.

When purchasing lubricants, the manufacturer should also supply Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and this information should be kept on hand. Check the links provided by Business.com for more information about marine lubricants and suppliers.
