Shell Marine has made further advances in China, with the signing of a contract to supply lubricants for five new Cosco 62,000dwt multi-purpose pulp carriers.
The contract, signed with Cosco Shipping Specialized Carriers Co Ltd, involves the supply of two-stroke engine cylinder oils, Shell Alexia 100 and Shell Alexia 40, and the multifunctional lubricants Shell Melina S30 and Shell Argina S3 40. The agreement also covers drain oil analysis provided by Shell Marine’s LubeAnalyst.
Joris van Brussel, Shell Marine Global general manager, commented: “There is a direct relationship between the quality of marine lubricants and engine reliability, and Shell Marine is delighted to have once again secured a major contract with Cosco Shipping group. We look forward to working with Cosco Shipping to optimise their vessels’ total cost of ownership and by meeting expectations for deliveries to an extensive list of ports.”
The latest deal follows closely behind another contract to supply lubricants across a fleet of Chinese dredgers owned and operated by CCCC Dredging (Group) Co Ltd.
