Shell Marine has signed an agreement to provide lubricants for all the vessels operated by global maritime contractor Van Oord.

Van Oord will also be benefitted from Shell Marine’s LubeMonitor 4T programme that helps reduce lubrication feed rates and oil consumption.
It will receive support from Shell Marine’s global team of field-based engineers as and when required.
The team will assist in lubrication surveys, vessel evaluations and in-depth technical and application support, among others.
Van Oord Ship Management Department staff director Jaap de Jong said: “We must have 100% reliability and optimum efficiency wherever our vessels are operating, and we must also be able to demonstrate the sustainability of our operations to meet our own goals of corporate social responsibility and those of the authorities we work with.”
