Shell wins marine lubricants order for Cosco's 20,000 TEU ships
COSCO has awarded a major marine lubricants contract to Shell Marine, which will provide a full range of marine lubricants and technical services for seven of its 20,000-TEU newbuilds due for delivery between 2018 and 2019.
Shell Marine has supplied marine lubricants and services to 140 Cosco vessels since 2004.
Shell Marine executive director Tan Toschka said the level of customer engagement behind the latest Cosco Shipping deal included its provision of onboard testing, assisting not only in the carrier's blend-on-board programme, its oil drain monitoring, but also providing analysis and comments in Chinese as part of Cosco's Shell Rapid Lubricants Analysis report, said New York's Marine Link.
Shell has also positioned one of its "mechnical maritime hubs" in Shanghai with technical experts ready to provide services to Cosco Shipping.
Cosco Shipping is in the process of taking over Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL). Earlier this year, OOCL appointed Shell Marine to provide integrated marine solutions to provide its marine lubricants and services for the 21,413-TEU OOCL Hong Kong.
Said Mr Toschka: "The quality of marine lubricants is critical for engine reliability; the application of the right technical services enable ship owners and operators to optimise their vessels' total cost of ownership."
