Environmental legislation and fuel economy have direct or indirect impact on lubrication.
Indirect impact: Use of stable EALs for longer life time, like Naturelle Stern Tube Fluid 100
Indirect impact: Adopt the cylinder oil in use to the Fuel S content, e.g. Alexia S3 for 0.1 % fuels
Indirect impact: Adjust the cylinder oil feed rate to the operational requirements
Direct impact on cost: Applying the above can have a direct positive impact on your operations
