Marine lubricants supplier Total Lubmarine[ds_preview] expects a growing demand for enviroinmental friendly products, as more ships are trading in sensitive areas.
Robert Joore, the new General Manager now laid out his vision for the company, focusing on developing a range of innovative solutions for ship operators operating in poor freight markets in a low-sulphur era.
Quoted in an announcement, Joore said: »In 2017 we will continue to invest heavily in developing a generation of marine lubes which are suitable for engines running both low and high sulphur fuels. At the same time, we anticipate that the demand for environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) will continue to grow, driven by the rising numbers of ships trading in the Polar regions.«
He added, Total is »committed« to playing its role in helping its shipping clients develop long term strategies that allow them to operate profitably whilst at the same time complying with ever stringent regulations. Total highlighted the cooperation with French container carrier CMA CGM signed last week.
