石油设备网讯 据离岸工程4月9日消息称该，壳牌海运公司推出了一种新的二冲程发动机汽缸油，特别适用于在国际海事组织2020年硫排放上限之前，使用含硫量为0.5%的超低硫燃料油(VLSFO)的发动机。
壳牌海运公司预计，世界上大部分的航运公司将致力于遵守国际海事组织2020年的规定，改用含硫量在0.5%及以下的燃料。
壳牌海运全球总经理Joris van Brussel表示：“壳牌海事公司可以帮助船东和租船人为世界走向低排放的未来做好准备作为一个值得信赖的合作伙伴，我们将帮助我们的客户在正确的时间、正确的地点使用正确的润滑油，消除燃料选择中的不确定性。”
在汉堡的壳牌海洋与动力创新中心进行了广泛的测试，并与原始设备制造商密切合作之后，壳牌Alexia 40在四艘配备最新发动机的船上进行了数千小时的试验，使用符合IMO 2020标准的代表性燃料，以验证其海上性能。
新产品将于2019年6月1日在新加坡上市，并将于2020年1月1日前逐步引入壳牌全球网络内的其他主要供应港口，如美国、中国、阿联酋和荷兰。
壳牌海运东盟和南亚区域销售经理Shaw Siang Hew说：“业主在过渡到后国际海事组织2020年海洋燃料时代时，需要对发动机的状况和性能保持平静的心态。为了消除任何不确定性，壳牌Alexia 40的性能已经在具有代表性的vlsfo和发动机上进行了全面测试，以适应船东实际将面临的操作条件。”
壳牌Alexia 40的推出，将与壳牌Alexia二行程发动机油新产品的推出同步，突显出在国际海事组织(IMO)于2020年实施全球海洋燃料硫含量上限后，燃料等级与推荐的汽缸油底数之间的关系。所有壳牌Alexia等级是完全混溶和兼容现有的投资组合。

Shell Marine Launches New Lubricant
Shell Marine has introduced a new two-stroke engine cylinder oil specifically for use with engines running on 0.5% sulphur content very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) ahead of the IMO sulphur cap 2020.
Shell Marine expects most of the world’s shipping fleet will aim to comply with IMO 2020 by switching to fuels with a sulphur content of 0.5% and below.
“Shell Marine can help ship owners and charterers be prepared as the world moves to a low emissions future. As a trusted partner, we will help our customers to have the right lubricants in the right place at the right time to take the uncertainty out of fuel selection,” said Joris van Brussel, Shell Marine Global General Manager.
After extensive testing at Shell’s Marine & Power Innovation Centre in Hamburg and working closely with original equipment manufacturers, Shell Alexia 40 has undergone thousands of hours of trials on board four ships with the latest engine types, using representative IMO 2020-compliant fuels, to verify performance at sea.
The new product will be available for use in Singapore from 1 June 2019 and will be gradually introduced to other main supply ports within the Shell Marine global network such as the US, China, United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands before 1 January 2020.
“Owners transitioning to the post-IMO 2020 marine fuels era need peace of mind over the condition and performance of their engines. To remove any uncertainty, Shell Alexia 40’s performance has been fully tested on representative VLSFOs and engines for the operating conditions owners will actually face,” said Shaw Siang Hew, Shell Marine Regional Sales Manager for ASEAN and South Asia.
The launch of Shell Alexia 40 will coincide with an introduction of the new Shell Alexia two-stroke engine oils portfolio, highlighting the relationship between fuel grade and recommended cylinder oil base Number after the implementation of the IMO’s global sulphur limit for marine fuels in 2020. All Shell Alexia grades are fully miscible and compatible with the existing portfolio.
