The maritime industry is facing unpredictable engine performance as the transition to low-sulfur fuels and the trend toward slow steaming introduce unforeseen wear on critical components. Engines running at lower RPMs face unique challenges, further complicating the situation. The solution lies in advanced lubrication and monitoring systems, which provide precise control over cylinder and piston… Read more
ARTICLE Reducing CO2 emissions across operations is a clear goal for many businesses today. The climate is changing, and this is having significant and visible effects on nature, animal life and humanity. Although shipping is the most energy-efficient method for moving cargo over long distances, the sheer size of the industry means that marine vessels… Read more
Efficient cylinder lubrication does not eliminate the wear of liners and piston rings completely. The goal is to control the cylinder wear rate and keep it on a normal level and to prevent other harmful types of wear. Cylinder wear in two-stroke marine engines refers to the gradual deterioration of the inner surface of the… Read more
1. What is the purpose of lubrication technology for marine engines? Lubrication technology for marine vessels involves the use of advanced lubrication systems to reduce friction between cylinder liner and piston rings by forming a thin and even oil film. Furthermore, lubrication prevents wear of liner and piston rings, neutralizes sulphuric acids, keeps the piston,… Read more
